Thanks for the suggestion, Chuck.
Actually, I thought about a 186, but buck$ are a consideration. Of course, as Ken's post notes, there is a two-element budget consideration here, and I really hadn't thought about it in those terms.
I may yet go for one. They're certainly great, judging from the reputation they have. Originally, my thought was to buy a Conn 25J from Taylor's, but that isn't necessarily economical or a good decision. I have been doing a lot of lurking on this list and in other places over the past three years on and off in this quest, and I have been dazzled and somewhat overwhelmed by the choice of horns that's now available. Back when I was playing in college in the mid to late 60's, I never knew such a variety existed. So, the search is much more complicated than I originally thought it would be.
I'll let everyone know what I finally decide.
Thanks again,
Graham
