With only a couple of weeks to go i have decided that the standard of the entries so far are fantastic!
Many people have gone out of there way to enter and win the horn of their dreams.
I appreciate this! so much so that i along with the other Eclipse judges are going to find it very difficult to choose a winner, but choose we must!

And there can only be one 1st place!

However there is no reason why there cannot be a second and third place is there?

SO that is exactly what is going to happen.

Here's the deal:-

1st place :- the custom horn (unchanged and as advertised)

2nd place:- a trumpet,cornet or flugel totaly overhauled
And then,
Re-lacquered in any lacquer finish we do
OR Re-plated (YES THIS DOES INCLUDE FULL GOLD PLATE!)

we can change a plated instrument into lacquer or lacquered into plate.

3rd place :- As above, including all the lacquer options, but only including
silverplate

We will pay the shipping and insurance costs for the return journey's to the winners of 2nd and 3rd place.
Also as an added bonus both 2nd and 3rd place will be able to choose a double trumpet gig bag or a trumpet and flugel gigbag to send their overhauled instrument back to them in

Shipping to us must be paid by the winners otherwise it becomes complicated. I think it goes to around 30 to 40 dollars or so? someone will probably know more about that than me!
I am sure that this will not offend people as they will be getting work carried out that costs a great deal more than this.

If you have not seen examples of our repair work then ask some of the other members who have.

The prizes do not have a cash equivalent, the repair prizes will be valid for a year from the date the prizes are awarded.

The 2nd and 3rd place will be awarded for any one of a number of reasons! comedy content, a good idea, storytelling,whatever.... you get the idea, basically WHATEVER BLOWS OUR FROCKS UP!

I am looking forward to seeing more entries of course, ensuring that we have a good enough response to do this again next year.

Regards and best of luck to you all
