[Trombone-l] Used horns DJ Kennedy

[Steve Cordingley]

I have bought from dj in the past - a Yamaha and a lovely 50s Olds valve
section for my P16 and he was fair, reasonable, helpful and genuine at every
point in both transactions. And I believe I can trust him to sort it if what
arrives is not what I'm expecting.  He's one of the good guys...
