Yet another new horn thread
So, what with the reduced activity over the past year, I haven't been spending my personal "mad money" as fast as I used to, and it has been accumulating to the tune of well over $1k. I did some thinking (yeah, I know -- bad idea), and now sitting in my email queue is an invoice from Wessex Chicago for an EP105-L Duplex from the August-September shipment. I have it in mind to sell my Jinbao baritone (not brass-banding any more) and my 4-valve Jinbao oval (I can get the same sound from the 'bone bell on the duplex), but even if I don't, I can cover the overage in a couple months, and the household account won't even notice.
Anybody want to try to talk me out of going ahead?
