Beating The Devil.
Yamaha YHR-667D is gone. Flipped. Out of here. It set a new speed record between the time it went on Craig's List this morning & the time it went out the door this afternoon -- not that speed is a goal. Obviously, the price was too low.
Even so, proceeds from the YHR-667D will offset most of the acquisition cost of my remaining 2015 candidates for French Horn Rescue -- 2 more Conn 6Ds, 1 no-name 6D clone, Yamaha YHR-567, York-Schmidt, & I don't know what-all.
Next up, Schmidt-Model York double horn that's currently on the professional horn fixer's workbench. Plus, I have 1 nice Conn 6D & 1 newish Brasswind horn all ready to go & currently offered on Craig's List.
But the devil has not been sleeping. In fact, the devil recently made me spring for an eBay Holton Farkas double horn. With just a few minutes to go, I was within 1 increment of getting outbid. To my mild surprise, my semi-lowball bid stood up & the French Horn Rescue Holton Farkas model horn is now en route.
Is this a great country or what ?
