Universal Melody and the new F. Schmidt

[stardude82]

Hello,

Anybody stop by a Brook Mays Music or H&H Music to look at their tubas recently? From the Universal Melody webpage, I'm guessing they are selling Chinese horns and some European make. Before their bankruptcy, I know they were selling stenciled VMI's, but what are they now? I'm pretty sure they are Cervenys. Can anyone confirm this?

I find it odd that at least on the website, that their F. Schmidt "186" clones are more than Cerveny 681, even the Chinese model.
