"We are ALL AMERICAN INVESTORS LLC, a USA company and the only USA distributor for HAYDN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.

I bet Donald Trump has apprentices there...
I know I'd buy all my baroque/classical tuba needs there!

The shipping charge for the euphonium-sized tuba is because eBay doesn't charge a fee on shipping costs, just on the selling price of the item. You can see a bunch of other Chinese brasses where the starting (and the ending) bid is a dollar, but the shipping charge is somewhere around $200.
Does anyone know what the prototype for this instrument was, given that lower-grade Chinese tubas are generally freely-interpreted copies of some mainline makier's horn?
I'm trying to think of an Eb with a 13" bell and I'm drawing a blank.

It looks similar (not identical) in size and shape to the Couesnon Eb that TubaTinker listed a week or two ago:Chuck(G) wrote:Does anyone know what the prototype for this instrument was, given that lower-grade Chinese tubas are generally freely-interpreted copies of some mainline makier's horn?

Anybody know of anything closer? (Noticed the little "trailer hitch" on the bottom bow ... a Buescher, maybe?)

Interesting, I was thinking about driving down there and trying one. So you think I would be wasting my time?harold wrote:Yup - I played one at the importer's office in Kent, WA. If I purchased one, I would need to pay the same shipping even if I picked it up myself.
It is a big shiny piece of crap. The valves sucked, the metal was thin, there were a ton of intonation problems.
I buy a lot of tubas and I can tell you that you can't get a decent horn for less than $1,500 unless it needs a ton of work or the seller is a total idiot.
I won't waste any more of my time on these horns - I already wasted 2 hours of my like that I can't ever have back.
