".where would he keep it all?"

As you can personally attest, I'm trying......

It's not so much keeping them, we all move around, my last move was a major logistics exercise, and I'm still buying more than I sell or give away..... I don't plan to move again (except ultimately vertically, not sure whether it'll be up or down...? Maybe I'll just hang around and haunt !).

Talking of logistics; one frequently sees large lorries on the M5 with "Logistics" emblazoned on the side....I had no idea that logistics took up so much space!

In reference to the original topic. $1200.00 US is entirely too much money for a Conn C melody in any condition. (In my humble opinion) There are so many of them out there. And in my opinion they are probably the best C mels available. But still that is way too much to pay for one.

Thanks-You're all right-no sale.

Perhaps I should have bought the Selmer BA C Melody I saw years ago in Paris although a reputable player said he found them stuffy.
