Right.  Take that $200 and save it.  Then save another $200.  Then
save $200 one more time.  Then you'll have $600 and be able to get
into the used but ugly pro horn market, and it will really make a
difference.  Plus, by then you'll feel better about dropping $600 on a
horn.  And the old 3B or 6H or whatever you end up with will be WAY
cooler.

I am getting to the point that I never advise anyone to buy a student
horn, even students.  For the price of a new student horn, you can get
a used pro horn, and the kid will have a better horn to play.
