Is this a line that only TE can get for you? If not take this info to someone else who may also carry this line and see if they can help. More than likely someone at Dillon's or Brasswind or even Charlie Krause, who is now in Texas may be able to help. It sounds like TE is buying the horn from another supplier anyway and probalbly having to mark up the horn to make their fair cut. If this isn't the case then you may be stuck, but I think the only line that TE has an exclusive on is Kalison. YOu should be able to get the horn freight allowed from TE due to your experience and maybe see if they can also throw in an "extra" for your troubles, like a mouthpiece or gig bag, etc. Good luck!
