Be very cautious of buying an instrument on ebay, especially when a picture is not posted. Minor wear and tear in the description in reality can mean one dent in the lead pipe that completely closes the pipe off.

I have made some very good purchases on ebay but you have to know when to stop bidding on an item. I have also made some better decisions on ebay by knowing when to let the item go. Be patient and another opportunity will present itself. I would not put any value on the fact that the horn may have been played by Mr. Jacobs. Other people may think otherwise. I suspect that Mr. Jacobs probably blew on hundreds of horns in his lifetime.

Good luck with your horn. If you get it let us know and post some pictures.
