| The Best Horn, best buying plan too!
A lot has been said about the various alternatives to the Bach trumpets. The Eclipse has become ridiculously expensive, especially and the exchange rate between the US$ and the UK£ continues widen do to lower the dollar.
The Wild Thing can only be bought from Flip (no dealers), and is much more expensive than a ZeuS -- with a $200 dollar return fee.
ZeuS takes a back seat to none, IMO. The very best in horns AND some amazing finishes.
If you want to buy a Bach Strad, Yamaha Xeno, or a any of the dealer carried instruments, they usually have a credit plans at 21% (some offer "same as cash" programs for up to 6 months on selected products).
But buying a ZeuS from a dealer allows any buyer with a credit card to pay half and then spread the payments for the other half over the next five months. Not on selected horns, but all of them.
It is one thing to play the best horn available as Mr. Zachary is an amazing designer. But to have it be affordable is something else! This is not talked about much for some reason.
Somehow, I just can't fathom buying a Wild Thing and having to pay $200 to return it (hopefully you wouldn't want to). No dealers to see and try them (I know, you can play them at shows, etc.). I know of at least two ZeuS dealers who have sold their own personal horns in the last month because they are in short supply and customers really wanted one. This struck me recently as a company approached me and asked if I wanted to have a "company credit card" so players could purchase instruments over time from my store. 21%, fairly easy credit. I sell ZeuS, I wasn't interested!
