Question
Kenton, I have a 1963 holton galaxy cornet. The serial number is 367560. I would really like to know how much its worth and how rare it is, ect. Would you please tell me about it? Thanks!

Answer
Deanna,

I'm sorry you aren't satisfied with my answer. If you would bothered to read my intro. you would have seen that I don't do evaluations, and just because you ask for a value does not mean that I'm going to change that position.  

I don't attempt to do evaluations on this site.  The horn is not rare.  The Galaxy was a semi-professional instrument.

Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.

Experience

I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
