Just a quick note:
I bought my son a new set of horns this summer and used a credit
card that doubles the manufacturers warranty/guarantee period *and*
covers them for replacement in the case of just about any kind of
accident (I have homeowners insurance that will cover most of the
cost, and my credit card will cover the deductible. If I didn't
have the homeowners insurance the card would cover the whole
replacement cost).

If you're in the market for new horns you may want to consider this
type of "insurance" - even if you have to pay a fee to get a "more
coveted" :) card.
