Re: [Hornlist] Blue-belled "valvectomy" horn on ebay
No disrespect intended, but it's based on an Olds Ambassador, I'm pretty sure, that would go for less than half that much IF it were in better condition, and with a good set of valves. (And didn't need that stupid paint stripped.) FWIW, I bought one of these from Lowell Greer - he "valvectises" them - before Xmas this last year. It's definitely a "poor man's handhorn". It plays pretty well and it's light beyond belief. I like it quite a bit - it comes with extensions for E, Eb, D. If I only had a C extension, I'd play it for a Haydn Te Deum that I'm playing in June. All in all, I got out of it what I expected at a price I was willing to pay, and it is perfectly suited for me to sit at home and try to teach myself handhorn technique. I will admit that the paint is a somewhat cheesy imitation of the gorgeously painted bells of horns of an earlier era - it is obviously spray painted on. Nonetheless, from a distance it's pretty. Some day, I hope to be able to afford one of Lowell's reproduction horns. Sadly, with my son going off to UCLA this fall, that will not happen any time soon.

Terrific description! That's gotta be worth something. No disrespect intended, but it's based on an Olds Ambassador, I'm pretty sure, that would go for less than half that much IF it were in better condition, and with a good set of valves.
