That is a *tremendous* help.
Thank you!

By the way, my boss,( wife ), would eject me nd my 'accumilation' if I had anywhere nearly the number of horns that you estimate. I do have more than 50, which has her 'EXTREMELY' upset about the clutter and loss of space in our home office and storage room.

But you still couldn't resist bidding on a 1953 Holton cornet in another Web site a couple of days ago.
Send me $5,000 or I'll tell your wife about the 1953 Holton cornet
I have the same addiction for wanting to buy trumpets and cornets, but not enough money to succumb to it very often.
And when I do welcome another instrument in the door, I do so knowing that one will have to go out the door to make room for it.
One trumpet + one cornet, maximum.
But "If I were a rich man"...
