 | Hello! An "old" trumpet player, suddenly re-activated by his 10-year old grandson's interest. I've "lent" him my Super Old (vintage 1948) and he's doing well (he can get OVER hi-C after 10 weeks of lessons; I could Never do that!). I have a lot of "little" questions which I'll post in the appropriate forum. |

|  Re: Hello! Braver (or dumber) than I knew. I had no idea what my OLD Super was worth. (I got it as a graduation present when I went from Jr Hi to High School). My daughter ran across a Super for sale on some web site; it was going for $650. So, I now knew roughly what it's worth. Took it to two different shops and asked for an appraisal for insurance. The first one said between $2000-3000, because of it's age and being a very good trumpet and in good shape (no dents, etc, only some wear on the spots where I held it). When I told him I also had an Ambassador, he suggested I have my grandson learn on that and "protect" the Super until he's older. Unfortunately, he's really attached to the Super. The second one said it was a "classical, professional" trumpet, but could only compare it to something being sold today. He gave me a $2200 estimate, saying it was probably equivalent to a Yamaha Zeno. I guess that's retail. I see one for $1764. BUT, I'll insure it for $2200. So, now I'm looking at insurance company quotes.  |

| Re: Hello! Uhh, by any chance do you have an old Porsche 911 beater car that I could borrow? You could insure it, of course.  |
