Another TE Tuba 1295

[Mike56]

Has anyone heard anything or tried the TE-1295.

Hi-
Looks like the Asian clone copy of the Miraphone BBb 1291--see Dan's aka "Tuba Tinker" review of this model....

Hi!
That's a JinBao! No body else makes that clone...

I can't seem to find Dan's post about the TE-1295

It's also on his website:

Miraphone 1291 and M & M clone comparison

The MM is the EXACT same axe that TE, Mack, Myself, and others carry! It's also JinBao's best BBb model to date, IMHO!

So, are you trying to tell me that it is a good buy? Or a Good Bye.

Tuba M&M Instruments are not the same as other dealers that are selling Jinbao instruments
They have contracted with other factories and Jinbao instruments to make their Tubas to their specs
They are the only ones that sell the New CC 5 valve 5/4 directly from the factory and The BBb 5 valve 5/4
The Jinbao BBb 5 valve 5/4 is also their design

Thank you

Yes, I agree completely--the 'other dealers' sell the EXACT same instrument at a much cheaper price....
