Leon,

Never tell anyone you're desperate for anything.  Say your student has a casual, passing interest in a Benge, and might possibly be persuaded to take one of these horns-most-likely-to-be-made-into-lamps off of someone's hands if only out of curiosity.

BTW, I just noticed a particularly beautiful example of an L.A. 3X+ at Anaheim Band Instruments out here in SoCal.  Their web address is:

Your student might be able to talk them into selling to him sight-unseen.

Patrick Olguin - if I didn't already have a CG Benge and 5X, I'd have snapped up that beauty over the weekend.
