You are aware it is a Chinese made tuba?

As I read your link, the tuba is in France and you are in Poland. I would be the last person to discourage buying from another country, as I do that all the time. But in your situation there may be better ways.

When I was in Poland on a tour in 1993, the local bands had some terrible instruments and some that were much, much better like Amati F tubas. I even saw instruments by B&S and by Alexander when it came to low conical instruments.

Following German and UK eBay's shows quite a number of reasonably good brands of tubas and helicons being sold out of Poland by one or more Polish repairmen, who have restored these instruments. If I were in Poland and mastered the language, I would look there before before considering importing a Chinese instrument from France.

I would like a natural horn with crooks myself. Nautile used to advertise one that looked interesting from the photos. I did not buy it.
