Hello everybody: Apropos to the German eBay: Does anybody know anything about these Fasch prototypes that are being sold on the German site? The sellers say up front that the horns are defective intonation-wise. Is this merely a front for more Chinese instruments with German or anglo-saxon names stuck on them? John

Judging from appearances, it certainly looks to be the case that these are imports from the Far East. That BBb tuba, if specs are to be believed, has a bore of 0.630" with a 15" bell; weight is about 14 3/4 pounds. It's a very small instrument from the numbers.
