HI-
The Jin Bao, aka Schiller/J. Laabs, aka M&M, aka Tuba Exchange 'TE' 3 + 1 Compensating Eb tuba with 19 " bell and .689 bore--a clone of the Besson 981--is excellent. Stainless steel pistons, excellent pitch & response, fun to play. You would not be unhappy making the trip over to J. Laabs or whoever and to try them out. A terrific horn.
Regards-

Re: Anyone tried the Schiller/Jin Bao compensating Eb?
I have been playing the M&M Tuba version of the 3+1 Eb for about 3 months and it plays great.fulerzoo wrote:Anyone tried the Schiller/Jin Bao four valve compensating Eb? Impressions? I live within a four hour drive of Jim Laabs and could hand pick two horns for my Brass Band but I don't want to make the trip if it's a dog.
In the two groups where I play the Eb the reaction to the instrument sound has been very positive.
