Thanks, everyone!
Can't wait for my horn to arrive.
I'll keep you posted on the progress, or lack thereof...

OK, an update!
First, I want to thank everyone who posted in this thread. I did read each and every comment and I googled each and every recommendation. In the end I did buy a brand new flugelhorn!
Of course, I followed one of your recommendations right here!

I must say, the very first time I laid my eyes on this beauty I knew was in love! I kid you not - just by LOOKING at it I was sold!
Still, it took a while to find a teacher who was willing to drive to my home - instead of being my "virtual coach". Finally, this past Friday I had my very first lesson!
Apprehensive as I was, I actually did quite well and am now practicing daily . That first lesson in fact rehashed many memories form the days when I was playing bassoon, years, that is, decades ago! "Building the embouchure"... "maintaining a single tone"... Learning to "use and control the diaphragm"... etc...etc.
But, no matter what, I just LOVE the sound of this beautiful instrument. Of course, I will never be another Freddie Hubbard, or even Chuck Mangione (god, did I actually write "even"?!? ) but that's not the point. Not at this age, at least  . And, should I get bored - I'll always have my piano and my guitars. End of (that) story.
Once again, THANK YOU, guys! I am in your debt forever!
Dan NYC

| That's so good to read! Glad we could be an inspiration to you and no worries, you don't owe anyone anything...we all just love to talk about trumpet-related stuff here! |
