They have them, but I think they're spelt 'Alexandre'

It looks legit to me. There are enough similarities between this one and my Marzan to make me think it is a non-comp protoype of the Willson Marzan collaboration. Maybe they were trying to tap the school market. Pics of my Marzan euph are on Dan's site.

Does it look to you guys like they used the same valve stack as the comp horn and just redrilled it? If it is the same bugle, the thing will play awesome. Monster sound! Without the comp it is probably an out of tune beast too.

Aren't 4 piston valve bell front euphoniums common in Southern German oompah bands, as a bass instrument? I don't remember where, but I recall seeing a few German companies who make these.

That is some kick *** beer! What did you do with the little plastic goat?
