Well... Actually... a rep from CMC would fly to China, play test and inspect each tuba, have the bell etched, and hand seal each box with a signature over the tape*. .......

I've seen maybe a half-dozen or so of these horns and all were quite acceptable.

For that shipping, a buyer roughly in the southeast could drive to Orlando, stay over night, take your kid to a theme park (or do whatever you do in Orlando), stay over night again, pick up the tuba, and drive home and spend no more money.

Hope it turns out well!

Thanks for satisfying our... well, at least my morbid curiosity.

Isn't this tuba a copy of the B&S 'Sonora'? That's a good tuba design, and I'd think if everything is 'fixed up' properly, this could be a good tuba
