Used Instruments in Northern Indiana

[KKORO]

About 8 years ago I was a superintendent of a charter school. We were looking for inexpensive tubas. I found a place somewhere in the South Bend, IN area that was way out in the country on an old farm. The guy probably had a thousand instruments in barns. He reconditioned them, but also sold instruments he collected that played well, but looked awful. That's what we were looking for at the time. I went home with an Eb tuba and a Bb tuba. Both played quite well, but looked awful, so we didn't spend too much for them.

I'd like to go visit that place again. He was an interesting guy and had some spectacular deals in used instruments. The problem is, I don't remember the name, and I certainly don't remember how to get to his farm.

I thought there might be someone on the forum who knows of this place. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Thanks but I'm not in northern Indiana. I'm about 300 miles south of South Bend.
