In selling a Vienna horn recently, I did some research and I can vouch for much of what Jerry Old related in his post (excepting only opinions about the quality of the instruments, on which I have no particular opinion). I will add a personal opinion: if you can buy a horn that played in a Vienna horn section, then you are buying a horn with a pedigree. Since relatively few are made, a horn which has made the grade in a section ought to be a good horn. There are lists on the web of the horns that section members are playing, so that can be a good guide to what to buy, as well.
