Keep on the look out for a Geyer which I’ll be posting any day now. It’s in amazing condition, and has had only one owner.
As soon as I clean it up I’ll let y’all know.

The new Vienna Horns CD: “Director’s Cut” has just arrived! I have a limited number of these for sale.
If you’ve heard their other recordings you’ll know why this ensemble is one of the best in the world. They do amazing things – and they do them on Vienna Horns!
You’ll notice that I’m experiencing some updates to my website – and that many of the pictures of the items are missing – but they are here in the shop!

I expect to see ALL of you at the symposium this year. Next year it’s in Australia, so you won’t have another chance until 2011~!
So, here’s the link sign up, and have FUN. Where else do you get a chance to hear hornists from all over the world, and then get to rub elbows with them at a local pub. It truly is a fun time.
If there are specific horns you’d like to try out at the symposium let me know before the end of the day on SATURDAY! I’ll bring them just for you.

Dates are June 2nd-7th at Western Illinois University. Please note that during that week, and the week following the shop will be closed (from June 1st – June 14th).

I’ll be posting a LOT of new and used horns over the next few days – and a few ‘phone’ specials (cases and horns)
Also, I’m looking forward to Macomb – if you have any requests for items for me to bring let me know NOW so I can order them!
See you there.

For those of you attending the Denver Symposium – there is a ‘Puzzle’ that you will find in the Symposium Program. Finish the Puzzle – and bring it by for a free bottle of Fat Cat Valve Oil! The first 5 get a free Hat (it’s really cool… in a non-geeky horn way!).
After the symposium is over I’ll find a way to post the puzzle here on the site (alas, the free oil will be gone by then though…).

For those of you who have been waiting – the Laskey mouthpieces have arrived!!
