That reminds me....I forgot to mention, got my eefer on ebay, too.
And it was in very good condition and it plays very well and the
little stinker is even pretty much in tune with itself.
I bought it from a girl who THOUGHT she was going to use it
in marching band, and her band director wouldn't let her. It is
almost new. It cost me $178. Okay, it's a plastic Selmer. But how
often am I going to need it? It's a nice little horn to practice on,
and someday when I can afford it (maybe after all my kids have
grown up!) I will buy a better one.

AND, by the way, I got my FLUTE on ebay, too!!!! And a
very nice alto recorder!

You just have to look at the pictures very closely, ask the seller
all kinds of questions about the item, and usually it works out.
I have asked a few sellers to take extra pictures for me, and they
usually do that.

P.S. Bill, maybe you ought to sell that ebonite Albert system horn of yours
(that you never have time to play with) to KEN!
