I'm glad the seller put a question mark in the listing. The horn probably originated in China. 'Sanders' has been the house brand of Custom Music International for many years. I didn't say it was a bad horn... just probably NOT a B & S.

Were the Chinese using nickel silver paddles, those robust linkages, and that kind of fully round thumb-ring then?

Yes... those horns were being imported as early as the late 70's. Not saying they are bad horns. Just sayin'.. I think Custom Music snd The Tuba Exchange (St Pete importers) did a great job of insisting on good quality.

That's good to know. I would never have guessed. Thanks!

Don't know if it's the same horn but definitely NOT made in Gemany!
