| The first vintage horn I lusted after was a Couesnon "Medal" horn, which I couldn't get because of some jerk with $150 more than me...
I then got a Buescher true Tone, which is in perfect shape, no dents dings or scratched, in raw brass. Of course, it has no valves or spit valves....
The first vintage I owned and played on is "Ole Trusty," a 1960 olds Ambassador.
I finally got that horn a lusted after, even though it was a different one (same year, though), the Couesnon. It can play, but it needs new valve springs, and professional cleaning. I think I'll name her Sarah....
Sometimes I entertain dreams of owning an antique music store....
