>   1.  Olds Ambassador, or Recording
>   2.  Getzen 300 or 700 (These are very underrated horns, an exceptional
> buy)
>   3.  Benge (Any Burbank or LA Benge)
>   4.  King Super 20 or Liberty (I like the older ones from the early 50's)
>   5.  Conn 22B, 12B, 2B, etc
>   6.  Selmer Grand Prix  (these are real French Selmer horns)
>
>   As long as you stick to name brands you should do alright.  There are
> also other name brands that I am not as familiar with such as Blessing,
> Beuscher, etc.
>
>   There are also other places besides Ebay to buy a horn, such as
> trumpetherald.com, Dillonmusic.com, and the local pawn shops.  Remember,
> too, that you can check Ralph Jones' site or a few others for a serial
> number list for most major manufacturers to estimate the age of a horn.
