Sure it's nice, but for that price it better be filled with diamonds or something...

That is a little over-priced for an older model 1241... even with both bells. Those cases are still available. You'd think for that price, they would at least furnish a set.

I guess I need to raise my prices!

Especially when a new King 2341 is less than $6000, and that includes a hard case. Yes, some find these to play better than the new ones (although I have not found any of these that I like better than my current one piece version), but that still doesn't translate to $8000, even with 2 bells.

2340 would be three piston horns manufactured after June of 1980. Correct?
