My baby on Ebay!

I just wanna cry. I found my baby on Ebay!

I have wanted a Martin Committee trumpet for over a decade. Well, since grade 12 when I was in a Jazz band. I want to start playing the horn again, but don't have a trumpet to even get going. Or a harmon mute. Or a mouthpiece or a.. *sigh* ... I have nothing anymore resembling my musical love for the trumpet.

Just for giggles I thought I would check out ebay to see what trumpets go for now adays... when low and behold, I found THE TRUMPET that I want.

Of course, I can't afford to buy any trumpet right now. But I can dream.

I think I will go listen to some Chris Botti and live vicariously through him.

I am a trumpet player myself and was cleaning out the closet one day. Found an old trumpet I used in high school that cost about $40 then. It was my "beater horn" for marching band. Well, I put that puppy up on Ebay for $4.99 and it sold for over $250!!! I love Ebay! (but I've run out of stuff to sell...LOL)
