Me thinks "missing some sections" maybe the understatement of the day:

and do you think the reason it may be "seldom available at this price" might have something to do with the fact that ⅓ of it is completely missing?

Now I've seen some amazing repair work in my day, but is there any hope for this? You're pretty much building a new horn.

Actually I've seen Don Gfell do some miracles, so you never know.

¾ of a horn at a fraction of the price!

Looks like Dan Gitmo may have taken the old 8-gauge to it!

I'm sure this was the one they had on the boat in "JAWS"?

I bet it don't HALF sound good!

What a concept--a 'quarter-shot' (as opposed to 'quarter-sawn') oak horn!

Sounds best when playing records that were written in ¾ time
