What impressed me the most, was how the horn was photographed and presented. The photography is top notch, they also got photos of some of the more aesthetically pleasing aspects of this horn, the wreath with Miraphone engraved upon it, the 's' shaped bars that go from the levers to the rotary valves are gorgeous, as is the engraving on the rotary valve covers. Someone will by this horn just on how the horn is presented. But it won't be me. :(

Yeah, I get that too sometimes. F5 usually reloads it with a white background. Worth a try ... :)
