I suppose this really is brass, painted white to look like fiberglass. Or for some other reason, likely, but I hope that's it.

I find it interesting that artificial music instruments from a Third World country have to be accompanied by a description of what they should be.

When scrolling thru sousas on eBay, I know how to limit them to only the ones sold from the USA, but I wish there was a setting for "Show me everything but this ridiculous Indian crap!"

Really beautifull one:)
