Tough to tell how many, but it looks like they're two deep, six across. Two cabinet, each with two shelves, so you're talking somewhere around 4 dozen - maybe more if the small-bores a packed in a little tighter.

Steve Ferguson (www.hornguys.com) might have them beat. I know Dillon Music (www.dillonmusic.com) does. I can't think of many other places with that kind of inventory.

This place is in Japan (you can see some Japanese characters in the corner of the trumpets image), my dad took these photos while he was there for a work trip. Not sure what the shop's name is tho.

I don't know about tubas, but there is a massive wall of French horns

[edit] found the website after some googling: [url]http://www.shimokura-gakki.com/english/

[quote="cozzagiorgi"]Wow pretty high prices on used trombones if I get that right:

3900 usd for a used Shires...[/quote]

American and European horns always have high resale price in Japan. I have seen a Shires tenorbass with Thayer at JPY300,000 on Yahoo Auction. Shimokura is one of the largest chain of musical instrument store in Japan, and also one of the most reliable and prestigious, so you can expect the price to be even a little higher than the auction site.
