Yikes, Joe. I know you love this instrument. I might have jumped on this a few years ago when I was looking for somebody to make me a CC sousaphone or helicon. But, I'm now happy with my CC Jupiter / Stofer, sousaphone, even though it only has 3 valves. Good luck selling your beautiful horn.

I've got nothing to say you haven't heard before.

I just hope it goes to a gigging or regular player who will get this work of art in public on a regular basis. Collections and museums are for history. This is the present. Plus it seems so incredibly un-jazz to sit around and just look at a horn. :P

I was going to say that I have seen this horn and it is absolutely stunning. Joe is a master at his craft.

Congrats on the sale. Eric
