yes im sure i want to do this. Im not planning on doing it in college anymore, well, i may, i dont know, but even if it is just a hobby, i wouldnt mind putting the money into a good horn, Good horns keep their value, even if I decided its not what i want to do. But i do enjoy it and i do love it, its hard work but its fun, If you know of any good horns that are less i would love to know, but unless i get like a selmer series II or something i dont see how i could spend less, and a series II isnt much better than the horn i already have so i dont know. Maybe theres some brand ive never heard of but, I was just wanting some feedback on some of the horns i mentioned in my last post, so i could get an idea of how they are. but at any rate, thanks for you concern, and i know i could be good on the horn i have, but i dont know, i would just like to invest in my hobby, thanks again, appreciate it.

Trying out the horn you're going to buy is required, especially when you spend that much money. If you don't want to spend all that money, the Yamaha Customs are great, and cheaper than selmer reference. I find the Yamaha keywork to be great, and much better than the selmers. Woodwind and Brasswind is a great place to try new horns, and they are great people to work with. I don't know what area you're in, but their website is www.wwbw.com Glad to help.
