Good grief. Just an observation: what's with all the numbers and letters to designate an F tuba? I think it's time to go back to "Model A", "Model T", whatever. Sounds like a nice instrument at a good price.

J - Jinbao?
4 - F tuba
4 - 4/4 size
5 - 5 valve
LQ - Lacquer

It makes sense within a lineup of instruments. Makes more sense the random model numbers assigned by most manufacturers.

I don't know what the J stands for but it probably isn't Jinbao. BMB used to make and sell a Euphonium and the model number started with a capital I.
