You really need that, don't you?

[Mike Ansberry]

Hey, Kehaulani. It is an Eterna Large Bore. Have you played one? They are one of the unicorn trumpets. I had one in my shop for repair a few years ago. It was dogged out but was an incredible player.

Do I need it? No. The only horn I really need is my 1949 Super Recording. Will it get playing time? Yes. And the upturned bell will help me deal with playing over the stand into a mic during performances.

I do have a couple of horns that are great horns but don't get playing time. I would like to sell them, but no takers so far.

So, are you telling me you blow unicorns?

[Mike Ansberry]

Aw, man. I'm just getting over a respiratory infection. You made me laugh so hard I coughed my (unicorn) @ss off.

You remind me a lot of a friend from back in the day...an Army French horn player named Ed Leferink. Wait. You play French horn too! Now it makes sense.

I am curious about why I got a notice saying there are 2 new replies to this post, but when I click on it I am told I have stumbled across a page to which I do not have access.

@Mike-Ansberry Because the instrument is sold, the administrator posted inviting me to delete the topic. So I did. You probably got the notification of the administrator's post - new post! But, whammo bammo, I was too slick! Disappeared right before our eyes!

Congrats on the new-to-you horn, Mike!

That was last month. He's on hiatus for the foreseeable future due to work load.

I would be surprised if that was the only reason.
