Re: Why would someone sell a dream horn?

I too, have experienced what Robin talks about. I know have a "section" horn for the times I need to fit in... while I don't like it as much as my primary instruments for soloing it's a good compromise. Unless I was playing first I wouldn't bring my heavier or vintage horns to gigs.

I have sold many a great horn. I think a lot of it was because I am fickle, blaming equipment for my own drawbacks, not willing to switch horns (and upset expensive instruments sat in the case), etc.

I know Mark is very similar to me that we go through a lot of horns, searching for that magic instrument that connects your brain directly into the instrument. I think with his new purchase though he might slow down, like I have as well.
