So did you get the answer you were looking for? Why not go to the "Sponsors" who ship them in, mark them up, and then send most of your money back to Gin Bow and ask them directly, after all, you have to know who they are by now they're all over this forum...

I dont understand why people feel the need to comment in such negative ways.
When the thread was first posted I assumed it was a fishing expedition for a style of tuba that does not interest me from a source that I have bought from in the recent past.
I was able to decipher what I felt was the premise behind the thread and while I do not like what I percieved to be stealth marketing I did not feel the need to comment as there were no inaccuracies in the question and some of the answers were interesting when filtered through.

Note to OP the above comments are my opinion and perception and they could be wrong I dont know, if I am wrong then I apologise.
Cant carry a tune but I can carry a tuba.

Where did "piston F tuba" rank on Neptune's "what should be next" opinion poll a few months ago?
