Thanks: Carl's Pro Band

I recently spotted a Yamaha YEB-321s Eb for sale at Carl's Pro Band in Bloomington, IL (about half way between Chicago and Springfield and the home of Illinois State U and Illinois Weslyan. From the time I made my first inquiry to the time I received this horn, Travis Thacker was great to deal with. He answered all my numerous questions, sent copious photos, answered questions about the photos, facilitated negotiations with the seller (this was a consignment horn). In addition, the horn was completely chem-cleaned and serviced with new pads, corks, springs and was buffed to look like new. It then was packed in an oversized box, in the hard cast, very well padded, and shipped up to Chicago by Greyhound (a whole separate story).
It is always a pleasure to deal with folks who so value their customers and their tradition of service. They are true pros and I would encourage anyone in need of repair work, or in need of a used horn, to give them serious consideration.
