Long story short, I don't have a horn to play right now. :( I was very sick for about six months, and I was unable to play at all. I'm recovering from surgery now, and I am feeling a whole lot better. I need a horn to get back into playing shape on, so hopefully I can finish up my music degree this upcoming year.
I get to start playing again next week, so at this point, I'm trying to figure out what I should do about the horn situation. Once I have a chance to save, I'm just going to buy a new Conn 8DS, but I can't decide what to do about a horn to play on while I save. Would I be better off renting from a local shop if they have horns available, or buying this horn off ebay while I save up? The worst damage I can see on the H180 from ebay is the denting on the tubing leading through the f side; I can't tell if it would be an "ok" horn for short term, or if it would be miserable to play on. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110492699483&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT If the local shop has a double horn available to rent, I'm leaning that way. At least I could test play it. Almost forgot, all through middle school I played a H179; in high school and college I played a Conn 8D. I appreciate the advice and help.
