Well, I ordered a restored vintage horn that arrived, via the US Post Office, with a bent lead pipe. :( Do I qualify for status as 'good'?

After reading the responses, I guess there might be some hope for me. After 6 years on the comeback trail I can do most of what TrickG outlined. I even hit 'D' above double 'C' the other night---using my daughters King 603 cornet because my baby is in the shop for valve work.

So Jim, does a classic horn restored to better than new condition count for two horns? Isn't a Constellation 38B at least as good as a Conn V1? :P
