I've seen better pictures under a better name (Ravelli? don't remember). Cool looking little horn, though I don't know anything about it.
However, I do have a very nice Chinese rotary bass trumpet and am talking to a shop about a Chinese about a Chinese contrabass trombone.

Dunno. But... it the valves have clearance of .005" as the ad implies... it's unplayable.
Otherwise... it can't be too bad. After all.... It IS German engineered.

So thicker metal plays flatter, thinner metal plays sharper. In the words of Johnny Carson -- "I didn't know that." And what again does the length of the tubing have to do with it? I forget.
