(Plus I found one more Hoyer 801) http://www.poperepair.com/2010/01/18/34-sized-besson-double-horns-on-their-way/ http://www.poperepair.com/2010/01/18/34-sized-besson-double-horns-on-their-way/#comments Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:50:39 +0000 Ken http://www.poperepair.com/?p=149 I’ve worked out a deal with the guys at Besson to purchase some of their discontinued 3/4 sized Double horns at a phenomenal price.
On the USED market these typically go for $1500 and up, and I will be selling them for $1499.00 NEW!
I have only a limited number of these – so please contact me if you’d like one. They are a perfect way for a smaller player to get into the double market, at the price of a SINGLE horn! So… bypass purchasing a single F, and try one of these compensating doubles. The way they play will astound you for a horn of ANY size.
Click HERE to buy one!
Also – It isn’t listed yet, but I did fine one last Hoyer 801 NEW!

Just include a note with the order as to the name you’d like on the bottle… (Rather than Pope’s Piss – it would be Paul’s Piss.. or whatever name you choose).
It can be a first or last name, or even a pet nickname – you choose.
It’s the same price as my standard Pope’s Piss.
GREAT stocking stuffer, or simple gift!

The computer problem is history (mostly)! Over the next week you’ll see a plethora of instruments being added.
Also, watch for my upcoming video ‘how to’ series! (Captivating titles such as ‘how to take out your valves’, – ‘How I rebuild valves’… etc. yawn… but I promise they’ll be funny AND informative).
Marcus Bonna cases will be arriving in a couple weeks. I have ALL models on order (just in time for early Christmas shopping).

As usual – if you have a product that you think I need to sell in my shop – let me know about it!
