How often do one of these rare instruments from the same year show up for sale.
Asking $1895.00 OBO.

Re: Conn Raincatcher FS
Thanks for the plug, Steve! A real pleasure having you over to check out my collection. Glad the 40K found a good home too!
Would you mind commenting on your impressions of this horn?

Re: Conn Raincatcher FS
Back up for sale. Papa's got bills to pay!
I played this horn at tuba Christmas NYC this year and it played better than expected.
Pitch is not that much of an issue as is. And there's plenty of room in the slot to put it where you want it!
Price is negotiable, prefer not to ship, willing to drive a long distance to make the sale.

I would love that raincatcher! If only.... Is the price listed for both horns as a package deal?
