Howdy!!

New here kinda? been browsing the site every so often for many years but never joined or said anything. Now I'm here to join the fun!

I tend to be a better caretaker and collector of horns than I am a player of them admittedly. But I enjoy all the horns nonetheless. I played back through high school and kinda stopped through college but now that I graduated, I have more time and leisure to play and more money to buy horns lol.

I currently own and play 3 funcitonal horns:

1. F.E. Olds Military Model (1930)

2. Bach Stradivarius 42BOR (Late 90's)

3. Yamaha Xeno YSL-882GO (2011-2012)

I have 2 project horns (for now; will probably expand)

1. Conn 4h bell (40's-50's i was told by the seller): has a dent on the art deco engraving and need a slide to match

2. F.E. Olds Military Model (1932): Has linear cracks on the bell and a large dent. slide has more chrome plating than the functional one but is a solid 3/10; probably just needs alignment and cleaning.

Horns that don't qualify as trombones:

1. Buescher TrueTone 400 (1938) [trumpet]

Not sure what the 2nd post should be about, but I'll figure it out! Suggestions welcome!

Hope to stay a long while,

Thank you! sorry about that! I was kinda lost looking for a hidden hello board for a bit at the start but saw people posting hellos in the announcments board, so I posted there. My bad! :)
