Lightning does strike twice
Never thought I'd be so fortunate to own another jumbo buescher, but i do now. Sent off $2400 cashier's check today. Wanted to share my joy with you all.

Re: Lightning does strike twice
Pics or it didn't happen. I am from the show me state. Small world, the guy who shorted me on the already steal of a deal price for my last jumbo buescher, has tried many times over the yrs to purchase this second jumbo, the seller told me. And if you're also referring to my post last week about the conn i bought, i demanded a full refund and got it the next day, after he tried to withhold the horn until further money was deposited for shipment, DESPITE the fact that I'd already satisfied my end of the deal when i paid the buy it now price. Other than that i didn't fancy myself a boy who cried wolfKiltieTuba wrote:Chances are good that I've already seen it. But, knowing how some if your posts have turned out, I'll wait until you actually have the instrument before requesting photos.lost wrote:Jumbos are less rare nowadays.

Re: Lightning does strike twice
I was just looking for a regular old american silver BBb sousaphone. It's like when they say love will find you when you aren't looking lol. This site always says my pic files are too big. Figures considering this forum hasn't been updated but once since ENIAC was built loledsel585960 wrote:I'm glad you are getting the horn you want.

I don't know this instrument nor Buescher sousaphones, but it sure has a "take-me-home-with-you" look to it.
