I just had the Bach Strad (purchased new in 1964 for about $250) refurbished - resilvered, valves lapped, new leadpipe, new spit valve, etc. - for a little less than $1,000. I've obviously gotten a lot of mileage out of this horn, but it seems incongruent nonetheless. I’ve recently had a similar epiphany.

Most of the Bachs I own cost me $250.00 brand new. It seemed they were that price forever (at least when I was in music school) That meant you could buy a used Bach for $150-200. The spare Bb I keep at school cost me $175. I recently got a deal on a TrumCor Lyric mute for only (!) $50.00. Well, this makes me show my age. Most of the Bachs I own cost me $250.00 brand new.
