Hi All
I love coming to these pages as I have learned so much about different horns, how good or how bad they are, and their market value. I've been offered a SBA Soprano, serial number 40XXX range and wanted to know, what they are going for in original silver plate, with 98% of the plate remaining, just over haul about two years ago, as a even trade for my MK VI 84XXX Tenor I have posted here on our forum also for sale. The person who wishes to trade is willing to pay for the shipping of both horns, the soprano to me, and the tenor to him.
This is a very important decision for me, because I have the matching set 114XXX MK VI's in silver plate and just thought this would be a plus to add to me stable, but... I want to make sure that the SBA Sopranos in the serial number range mentioned are good horns, and then again, I won't till it arrives here and I play test it. So, I'm open to any suggestions, as I was also thinking of getting a MK VI soprano in the more stabled intonation range, because as I have read, some MK VI sopranos are difficult to keep their intonation while playing them. Your thoughts and comments will be greatly appreciated...
