Re: Salt in the wound: Ever sell a horn and regret it?

Matt, I understand exactly - although I have never been able to bring myself to sell any of my trumpets. I even fret when I lend one to my neice - it means I can't get it out of the case, give it a wash, a gently buff, a little bit of lanolin on the slides, gently squeeze out a few "toons" and then back into the case. Remember though that you will always now be super sensitive to similar horns - and you will probably find some old stager that will overcome your grief for you. Best of luck.
