My head is spinning! All this teim I thought the long triangular areas were veneer patches, and now I am gathering that they aren't...if that is the case I will keep it! Just between the 50 of us, I paid $695 plus shipping. John

I would think this horn in perfect conditon would be worth about $1000. Obviously with repairs the value goes down. From the pictures I would say if you paid $750 or less definatly keep it.
