-Mirafone 1845U CC I already own this one. Great quintet horn. Very versatile.
-A four-valve Alex 163. The four-valve Alex's I've played have had a more open feel than the five-valves. So I'll pull some slides- I'll live.

-The Kurath prototype euph I tried to buy from Fred Marrich at Custom for ten years back in the 70's. Every time I went back it looked worse and Fred wanted more money for it. It's probably still in Custom's basement, all the lacquer flaked off, crease in the bell, slides frozen and still sounding like a million bucks (although Fred would take 11 grand).
