Happened to visit the Hornucopia store in San Carlos CA today (no relationship to the famous brass compilation website AFAIK) and the owner was showing off her latest accqusition - I took a few snaps but only one was clear enough:
more views of a similar horn:http://www.horn-u-copia.net/picture.php ... 199459.jpg
It was not too tight of a fit for me (I am not exactly a small size) and it had a pretty good tone for a horn of this age. Don't know if Sandy wants to sell it right away - she had been working on buying it for 17 years!
Rare Oxford Eb Sousaphone sighting!

Re: Rare Oxford Eb Sousaphone sighting!
The previous owner had an antique store in another city and the horn was on display there (as a sales gimmick, I guess.) She did not want to sell it, but finally did when she retired.LJV wrote:In all seriousness and with all due respect, why?!?David Richoux wrote:Don't know if Sandy wants to sell it right away - she had been working on buying it for 17 years!

That's the big difference between humans, and frogs etc. When a frog does something, you know there's a logical reason.LJV wrote: In all seriousness and with all due respect, why?!?
