Wow, it's really cool to see all this discussion going on! Thanks a bunch Bboard community! So, I'll respond to all.
@jdbassplayer Interesting, I didn't know that. My Mother always talked the instrument up like it was, but I suppose if there are really that many floating around then it makes since why they don't go for more than $2k.
@Justputmytwocentsin Cool, so it seems you have a variety. Further establishes the point that one should try multiple pieces before selecting one.
@Ursa It's funny, seeing how much all the Backun affiliates, Richard Morales, Eddie Daniels, Jessica Philips, and of course the all mighty clinician Michelle Anderson insist that upgrading your barrel and bell will TRANSFORM your instrument. Sponsorship and shameless advertising at it's best
Ok, the Grabner K-Series seems like a good idea, assuming it feels good in my mouth. Double checking the website I posted earlier, yes it's a Goldentone. Wow, and they sell for pretty cheap too. I learned that ivory isn't great a mouthpiece material, and of course the elephants so it makes since they don't sell anymore. I think I'll talk this one over with my Mom and see what mouthpiece she'd prefer; whether or not she'd like one she's simply familiar with or a modern one that's similar and indisputably better.
Once again, thank y'all so much for the elaborate responses, it's greatly appreciated.
