hey phat you're a riot i heard similar from somebody years ago i took what i now know is a stencil of a 20's tru tone to a shop, the guy says, it's not worth fixing, but ill buy it from you. ha ha hey kam sounds like you have a nice one, good luck

One of the repair techs I used to have work on my horns is a die-hard Selmer fan. Anything other than a Selmer "Isn't worth fixing" in his opinion. I still stop in there once in a while, because he does carry a lot of accessories and sells them pretty cheap. I took my King Super 20 tenor in there the other day. This horn is so perfect, I don't gig with it. I've used it in the studio a few times. I asked him if it was something he might be interested in buying, since he supposedly buys used horns. He said that the Kings really aren't worth a lot of money, even as nice as mine was, nobody really wants a King. Really??? He offered me $200 for it! I wouldn't sell it for $4000! I was a little pissed and told him that I knew it was worth about 20 times that much, and that personally I'd take this Super 20 over a vintage Selmer Mk VI any day, and I own a Mk VI! We exchanged a few words about Selmer and he all but threw me out of his store! I don't think I'll be back no matter how bad I need something from him.
