I bought a beautiful, dent-free euphonium last spring, and about the 2nd day I had it, I picked it up by the tuning slide. You know the rest....the bell is curled over on itself on one side, from where it bounced off the carpet.
I've finally gotten done crying over it; what I want to know is, how much value did I lose by my clumsiness? I paid $1300 for the horn, which was too much, but it was in very fine shape.
