I have noticed that in recent times that horns are bought and sold all the time.  My teacher has had 3 horns in his life and plays the same two he has had for almost 30 years.  Those kids Rick is speaking of must be rich.  My parents can't buy me a tuba.  They definately cant buy me something, just to get me something else a year from now because i see it.  For more and more priviliged kids horns are like currency.  As someone that plays a school horn and best in the state, I am disappointed and ashamed in how most of the guys I know who own their own horns take it for granted.
