Hi all,
I may have the opportunity to purchase a used Moennig cor. Used cors don't come up for sale very often in Oz!
I am yet to receive pictures, but the serial number is 7921 (if anyone knows how old that makes it, I'd love to know - can't find a list). It supposedly has a 3rd octave and left F (I will confirm when I see it in the photos). It has a crack which has been filled but the seller doesn't believe it has been pinned. I would probably get it pinned just to be sure. It has just been serviced and is playing 'well' (apparently).
It is selling with 2 bocals for A$2000, which is about US$1800, which sounds like a good deal to me, and he will take less if it doesn't go. I may even get chance to play it this weekend as I will be in the same city as it for the ADRS conference.
Thoughts on Moennig cors? Or whether this sounds like a good deal?
Is there a chance it would be better than the DMxx Loree I am currently playing on which appears to need about $800 of work? (Sacrilege that an orchestra would allow their instrument to get in the condition it is in.) Given that I have unrestricted access to that instrument without buying my own as long as I play in the orchestra, it is definitely a consideration.
Thanks,
Rachel
