Very well, I revise my comments to:

Get the Meinl - you can always use it as a "trade-up" later for that dream horn HB-21. Chances are good that you won't see another Hirsbrunner at that "dream price" (whatever price that is?) again soon, anyway. Buy the best horn you can possibly afford - that better equipment just might mean the difference between winning a job when you compete against other really good players who could also win the audition on any given day.

Sorry about the extra sarcasm in my first post, but I was being honest. I think the point is still valid - why does going to college mean buying a horn? Why not wait until you're sure that's the career path you want?

I didn't mean to "slam" Ben, either, but I think he should realize how fortunate he is to be able to get his own horn at all at this point is his life. Just my opinion - I could be wrong - but I thought that's what this board is all about.
