Re: would you pay this much for a horn?

Hi All: Have bought several horns for my personal use on the bay,but only from sellers that gave me their email, home#, and address. Am 5 for 5. I mean, what's a totally restored vintage horn like a Committee or an Olds Opera worth? They say the heart wants what the heart wants. Yes, I've seen these two models selling for hundreds more than I payed.Perhaps I've been extremely lucky. But 5 minutes of playing either of these after they arrived and I was in love. Have had several friends play em,especially the Martin. When they put them down...............big smiles & a wow. You do need to be selective & cautious, I agree. I'm only holding 8 horns, but the best price, and the best horns, came the bay-way. There are a couple of guys out there that can still spell " Honor".
