My first horn was ordered from a local dealer on recommendations. I used it through college and sold it afterward, and have regretted it ever since. I paid $910 for the horn and case in 1973; it currently sells for near $4900 without case.

My next two horns were bought from large tuba dealers who advertize on the internet. The first one and I never clicked, so I sold it. I bought it on research, not recommendation. The third horn was bought after reading the accolades it received here on the BBS, so count it as recommendations.

I'm currently in the process of trying to sell it in favor of a lighter instrument, as I'm not getting any younger. This is one instrument that I've actually tried before buying.
