I’m in the market for a large rotor CC and I’m thinking about heading to DC for the conference this year.

I was also considering bringing some of my current things for sale if anybody would be interested in meeting.

That said, anybody know what vendors are going? I’m guessing the usual suspects, but has anything been announced?

I usually pop in for a toot and lunch at the bowling alley. :tuba:

Unfortunately, I will not be there this year due to a previously scheduled commitment. Wish I could go.

I'm taking leave so I can just hang out there all day.

I have two horns for sale, if anyone attending wants to have a try:

Besson 981 EEb, good condition, bought at Dillon Music 15 years ago, serviced by Matt Walters.

Marzan slant rotor BBb, bought 6 months ago at Baltimore Brass. Good condition, found a BBb I like more.

Always a highlight of the musical year. I think this is something like 7 years in a row?
