Still made in the USA

I've got a soft spot in my heart for any of the Elkhart Indiana produced musical instruments, I live here. Many of my friends and family worked for places with familiar names like Buescher, Armstrong, CG Conn, Selmer, Linton, Gemeinhardt, Deford and Vincent Bach. True artisans that have been replaced by cheap labor in Asian countries. This is a good horn, which will hold it's value and still be playable long after the the overseas horns have been turned into a lamp. Any musical instrument produced prior to 1980, and anything made in Elkhart was a good horn, in my opinion. Sadly even the remaining Elkhart manufacturers have been forced to use imported components to stay competitive. They still assemble them here and they are still some of the best horns for the money.
