My guess is, yes, they are.

Vintage Trumpets
The Easier, More efficient way to Find Used Trumpets.
So, what is your theory on why that is? Inflation hedge? People looking for a diversion from their financial woes? Buying used instead of new? H1N1 is a 'code' name for the N+1 Virus?

It seems to me that overall vintage horn prices have been driven up if anything.

Basic law of economics: Higher demand=higher prices, unless there is an abundant supply, which holds prices down. Scarcity of a high-demand item means getting more for the item, unless the government puts a "program" in place to regulate it. Maybe the healthcare bill will have a price ceiling on vintage horns...???

I was playing once and afterwards, a little boy approached me and stated that he played the trumpet. I asked, "Do you play like I do?" and he replied, "I used to."
It seems like there will be a ceiling on everything (except politician's salaries) but it won't really matter. The healthcare bill will make brass illegal because it might contaminate our hands and contibute to illness and thus increase demand for treatments.Originally Posted by jbkirby

Actually...there IS a "cap" on politician's salaries (federal, I know of)...but "salary" does NOT included whatever else may be made "on the side" (or under the table, as appropriate).
