Coming soon spring of 2017. Projected MSRP: Lacquer $6000, Silver Plate $6500 Interesting that they're making alto horns as well. When was the last time one of those was on the field? I want to say early '90s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people fell for the airplane, they'd fall for that I think they call them stewardesses named Carmen and Dorothy. :-p 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I think Vance needs to have someone come in and help with the writing portion of the website. Polishing it up would be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say that the price thing was not the ultimate deciding factor. Also, free? Check your facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most groups buy a full set of horns and then sell them back ever year. There are transactions of money. (Though if you and I tried to sell back a horn only used for one summer we'd get a lot less for it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
