Re: [Hornlist] horns on ebay
Last year I bought 2 really homely, semi-ugly, & completely unprepossessing damaged eBay 6Ds that, when straightened out & cleaned up, turned out to play great -- excellent sound, good intonation, easy response -- just nice, easy-playing high & low & mid-range horns. I resold 1 of them (on eBay) for big bucks. The other is ready for the same fate -- except that it plays so well that I'm semi-reluctant to let it go despite its exceedingly modest appearance & low-status marque. Maybe I should keep the nice playing 6D & sell off something else that's worth more -- e.g., my eBay customized Yamaha YHR-668N. -- Alan Cole, rank amateur McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [Hornlist] horns on ebay
As cheap as he eBay horns may seem, many are not really worth fixing up, even if you do the work yourself. If you are knowledgeable and have the tools, there are some remarkably good buys. I have four or five ebay horns that are as good as, or better than, the most expensive horns available. One of the secrets to buying school horns is to look for one with damage, usually a flattened bell, that makes the horn un playable, but is easy to straighten out. Often, these horns have been stored, un played and un playable for years, and the valves are as new. -Original Message- From: Giovanni Gabrieli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: The Horn List Sent: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 15:10:46 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: [Hornlist] horns on ebay Yeah, it would maybe be an expensive albeit original decoration ;-) --- Shannon Midbrod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello all~ This may be a stupid question but I was looking at horns on ebay today and I can't believe how cheap some of those things are!

RE: [Hornlist] horns on ebay
Hello Paul, Good Morning (it is 06:21 A.M. here). Your horn is a plagiat definitely, as I have seen an old curved flat but not depleted Laurel & Hardy, short before still used (farted) by Hardy. I saw it in one of their movies, when I was a school boy. Greetings Hans PS: From tomorrow on I turn in to the last round (year) before retirement, but still have fun playing demanding stuff (we are mid in the RING, but it is not much fun left, as the younger colleagues dont make that much fun as we did. = -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Mansur Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 12:03 AM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] horns on ebay Hey! If you're looking for a decoration I can beat buying a new Chinese horn. I have a flat horn; that is, it is literally rolled flat by a hydraulic press, mounted to hang on black velvet in a gold frame. Great decoration for one's home and a marvelous conversation piece. We called it "The depressed Horn!" I'll sell it for less than you can buy a Parrot. (It is an aged single F with character.)
