In search of test plays!

Hello fellow enthusiasts!

I'm in the market for a new horn, I currently have a misbehaving Holton 179. I believe I have narrowed down my search to either a Conn 8 or a Hoyer 6802. However; I am having trouble finding one I can try before I commit to a purchase.

I'm currently in the Denver area but will also be driving to the DC area later this summer and am looking for any leads on horns that I can try out.

Willing to put in effort to get anywhere that might have one in stock.

Thank you!

Edit: 30s, playing community band, just want a nice horn that works (kruspe, nickel, detachable preferable)

Can I prune this aggressively?

I'm not sure what kind of tree/ bush this is, and I really love the way it blooms in spring but it's taking over the corner of the yard/ patio. There's actually a windmill back there somewhere. I don't want to kill it i just want to contain it
