Re: 1964 Holton 345 - Price Lowered!
... I haven't played it, but I can say that it's damn hard to make them look this symmetrical, particularly the C version.
People take them apart and put them back together numerous times to try to get them to look right.
Great job.

Re: 1964 Holton 345 - Priced to Move!
Wade. I just drove an 18 hour round trip to Pittsburgh to buy a horn. Why are you tempting me to now drive a 43 hour round trip to Mississippi by offering this one at a ridiculous no-brainer price?the elephant wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 12:55 pm My Mirafone 186 is also back up for sale, if interested.
1971 186-5U CC
Fantastic mechanical condition. ZERO dents. Unlacquered brass. No hard case. Blue Miraphone gig bag in excellent condition. No mouthpiece.
$5,500
Same deal: contact me! We can work out something. I need the money soon. So act now and smile about it for the next twenty years of your career!

Re: 1964 Holton 345 - Priced to Move!
It takes me 11 hours of busting my ass (at night, when there's less traffic) to get from where I live about an hour east of downtown Memphis to Pittsburgh, which is about the closest city in Pennsylvania to where I live. It then takes me the next day to physically recover from the ordeal.
Google estimates the drive time from where he lives just as he describes for a round trip to Yazoo City... and that's with no rests, no stops for gas, and no stops to pee.

Re: 1964 Holton 345 - Priced to Move!
Sorry, I removed that info when I was getting weird PMs from a scammer/spammer a few months ago. I’m on the eastern side of Connecticut, about 30 minutes from the Rhode Island border. A fair piece away!the elephant wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 10:34 pm But (as I asked) WHERE DOES HE LIVE? It's not in his profile…

Re: 1964 Holton 345 - Priced to Move!
I apologize. 
He and I have chatted on the phone and via texting from time to time and I guess I make the mistake of assuming that other people know people and - as much about them - as I do.
By the way, Wade, if I'm remembering correctly he's originally from Kentucky, so he's actually a real person - you know: with thoughts and feelings.
