I would like to play test a "Mel Culbertson-Neptune" without traveling a great distance. I've heard rave reviews of the instrument and I would like to see if it is a good fit for me. Are there any stores that carry this model within three hours of Texarkana, TX...Dallas, Little Rock, Alexandria, LA? I see that Brasswind has a used piston horn on sale for $5,599.00. If you own one and you live in my vacinity, I would love the opportunity to try yours.

I think Lee Hipp of the San Antonio Symphony owns a Neptune. He might let you try his horn, or not. Is San Antonio more than three hours from your area?
