Hey, that's great. I am pretty sure it was you I sold that horn to. I
remember it, because it came in through my non-profit, and obviously I would
not give something like that (even in best shape) to a little kid.
We figured it was probably a good instrument in its' time, fixing horns is
definitely Not my forte, so I sold it. We put money we get from horns
toward repair of whatever needs to be fixed at the time.
