With all my heart and soul.<\/p>\n

Saw that this morning, and I haven\u2019t stopped laughing since. Having broken the bank and gone without eating a cpl-three days last month to buy my musically-gifted daughter a 70s-vintage King Tempo trumpet off of eBay, to be specific:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nickel plated, with raw-brass tuning slides and valve caps for contrast, in A-1 shape for its age\u2014a bit of corrosion at the grab-points from skin oils and\/or sweat, along with some very minor scratches and scuffs, as one must expect with anything this old. The case is in slightly worse shape, alas; as you can see from the pic, the felt has separated from the shell up by the grab handle. But no worries:\u00a0my friend Greg<\/a> is generously donating his like-new, barely used Benge case<\/a> to make up for it.<\/p>\n

I played a King myself during my band career and for many years after (a 601<\/a>, if I remember right), and my poor horn was one hell of a lot more battered and beat-up by the time I parted with it than this fine instrument is. Hey, the great Harry James was a King man<\/a> throughout his illustrious career\u2014what better endorsement could one possibly want?<\/p>\n

So you can bet your sweet bippy my young \u2018un will be getting herself a BrassTache from dear old dad this Christmas to adorn and enliven her noble old King. She inherited the same silly, juvenile sense of humor her old man has, so I know she\u2019s gonna love it all to pieces. And laugh herself sick over it, like papa did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
