Just wanted to let you all know that there is a fantastic Selmer Claude Gordon model trumpet for sale on eBay right now!
The horn is owned by Jeff Purtle, a student of Claude's. This horn is a great one: totally restored by Larry Sousa with new "original model" bell and leadpipe. And it's got a Bob Reeves valve alignment.
If I didn't already have two of these horns, I'd be putting in the winning bid.
This is the perfect opportunity for someone to get one of these no-longer-made horns (Bach/Selmer ceased production of the Selmer CG at the beginning of the year, citing the fact that they lose money on each one made, since unlike the other Bachs, these were totally made by hand in limited numbers).
Sincerely,
John Mohan

Just wanted to mention that the reason Jeff is selling this horn is that like me, he has two of them.
And unlike me, he has come to the realization that one can only play one trumpet at a time with any degree of musicality.
