[Hornlist] Finding long lost horn
Long story. Short question. How do I go about instituting a serious search= for my original horn? Any advice deeply appreciated. As I said=2C I have= the original receipt with serial number I was talking with a friend of mine who plays in the Cincinnati Symphony, and listening to him describe the best horn he ever let go... (a Paxman descant) - and suddenly realized that I had his 'lost love' of a horn in my shop currently for sale! He was very excited and had me send it right out to him. Ultimately, he said it was like an Ex Girlfriend saying that: 'over the years, he only remembered the good aspects of it, and had forgotten why he got rid of it in the first place' ;) In the end.. he sent it back!
