If you really want to get your hands on an F the Baltimore Brass Company has a Graslitz F w/ hard case available for $1450. I honked on it a bit about a year ago and didn't think it was bad at all. For the price it is actually quite good. IMO. My memory may be faulty here but I seem to recall it as a smaller F by current standards but having a very characteristic sound and enough facility to make it a good horn for solo purposes. You will probably find that you will prefer your 4/4 CC for most quintet lit. if you get the Graslitz.
Other than this horn I highly doubt you will find an F use or new much under found grand.
good luck!
