If the advertised dimensions are accurate, bore, weight and over all size, these are different tubas.

How do you pronounce Thomann?

Toe - mahn ("mahn" rhymes with "bahn")

Has to be a Chinese tuba at that price, right?

Yes, definitely Chinese. Very solid and killer sound throughout.

The option to translate should pop up if you aren't a Spanish speaker.

Ordered a German-made horn through them last year. Communication with them can be a bit of a chore as I did it all through email. Ended up having to purchase a Jakob Winter case for them to ship the horn in (I know), paid the commercial shipping cost, and paid the import tax when I picked it up directly from customs at JFK in New York City. All in all I still paid less than what it would cost than to just buy it in the US, but it was a hassle. Horn was well-packed with precautions packed onto the shipping box so nothing would get stacked on it in transit. Instrument arrived without a single blemish [they know what they're doing there].

It sure helps that you could pick it up at its first entry to the US at JFK... Before anyone here could screw it up!
