Check out that great Boston in the gallery section. or Tom Turner if you are lurking....(I still haven't found a Boston available that I could afford and even the "B" word makes me covet to own one of those great instruments...especially having the opportunity to test ride that Boston shown in the gallery link from here in the Seattle area.
If you notice the look of Dan's face (sec.photo down on the STAFF page).....U can almost hear him thinking...."How am I going to keep that old BAD-DON from begging to play this beautiful old horn, every time he darkens my door.
