Congratulations on your retirement and best wishes for your health and future. I really enjoyed your repair and alteration posts over the years. My favourite and one that I still return to on occasion is the Holton 345! :clap: :clap: :clap:

I was able to play this horn once when Mike Bunn owned it. I lacked real experience with a 6/4 instrument back then but I thought it was amazing. I wish I had $30,000.

^ Old song. In today's money, that's more like 2.5 million dollars

Plus, since BNL is a Canadian band, I was never real clear if that was the USD or CAD.
