Helen's research on D & J (and many other German horns, for that matter) is the go-to place for GOOD info on the company...because there's a lot of bad info out there on them.
$500 for a completely good-playing Alto in great shape is a fair price.
I rehab many of these D & J's and I have always been impressed by them a very solid, good-sounding instruments. I usually sell D & J Alto stencils for around $400-500, but they usually have some significant lacquer wear to them, also. My buyers have always been pleased with them.
