The resent discussion of engraving has made me remember how i came into posession my by horn, and I was wondering if any of you had similar stories.
In College, I had a 4 valve Sanders tuba, which was a Cerveny with a .795 bore. I friend of mine had a brand new piggy, but he had money problems and made him an offer. I traded my horn for his, and gave him a little cash to help him out. I later found out that he used the money for drugs, and then hocked my former horn, also for drug money. That made me mad, so I went to the pawn shop, bought the horn for $700, and sold it to a student for $2000. If my former friend had told me he was going to hock the horn, I would have set him up with the student and he could have gotten the $2000 (he only got $400 from the pawn shop).
