Hi-
Just got my silver JinBao 186 clone back from my repairman for some mods--3& 4 valves 'turned'. Saturn water key installed on lower 5th valve slide, other work, etc. Valves were slightly out of alignment, and now it plays even better than before--hard to believe, but true. A terrific tuba--so smooth----very happy!

Ben-
My intent? Nothing at all- it makes it easier to just list this than to respond to several folks who keep emailing me-it is that simple-period.

PS. I must say that these days, I recommend folks get their Chinese tubas from Tom at MACK Brass. Thanks.
