Re: beginner should not get a pro level horn? Why?
Buy the 3b, very versatile horn and hold their resale value if you change your mind...... Contact DJ Kennedy he has many 3b's of different vintages
Also you do not say if you have a teacher? If you don't then get one will help you get the best start

The 10-10 etc where the pro line (to use modern parlance) but as with all horns it's how it plays, so we await your review with interest

Re: King 3B and alternatives
I would never buy a 3B for 1000$. For this price, you get very beaten up horns. But if you buy from a friend, or someone you trust, it could be OK.
