12. What are the names/addresses of horn dealers and suppliers?

There are many fine local music stores which can give you the chance to try out horns, and it is not
the intent of this item to direct you away from those. However, for a major purchase such as a horn
(which can easily exceed US $5000), mail order shops may give you a substantial discount, since at
least taxes are not usually payable from them. You may want to consider them for this reason. Some
of these include:

Additionally, some manufacturers will let you tour their plant and try out whatever's currently in
stock if you are seriously considering a purchase.

[NB - I will try to secure non toll-free numbers for those of you who cannot take advantage of
them]
