Yes, I am very interested. Another consideration where pain is concerned is ergos. Some of the older horns may be lighter but cause more pain because of inferior ergos...but I'm sure you already know this.

If you can't afford a Selmer Mark VI, I have found the King horns to be the best in the comfort department, especially the Super 20. As you can see from earlier posts, it's lighter than most vintage horns due to the annealing mfg. process, and seem to have been made for people with big hands, like myself. I have not found any vintage American horns that have better ergos. I hear the Martin's aren't bad, but I think those are on the heavy side.
