Check out Buddy Rogers Music in Cincinnati, OH, which is now the North American distributor for
the Josef Lidl rotary brass instruments. Their F-tubas are world-class performers, made in Europe,
and priced to compete with Asian prices. They're win-win, as I see it. My assistant Eric Murphy owns
a Lidl 853 Deluxe F, and sounds like a million bucks playing it. The fact that Lidl is taking suggestions
from pro players and developing new models is pretty exciting.
