[TPIN] looking for used horn

[William Benzon]

I know that $75 is really pushing the envelope. My buddy tells me there's a
West Coast Warehouse that sells horns at that price to school districts. So
I told him about school districts getting stuck with useless lamp bases.

Dillon has a bunch of decent looking horns in the $150 - $400 range,
including some Ambassador cornets. They've also got a Conn for $25, but it's
got a loose solder joint on one of the lead pipe braces and they're selling
it as is. Plus you need some kind of case and mouthpiece.
