Chinese 6/4 or large 5/4 on the way??

Post by MartyNeilan »

What is in the rumor mill for a Chinese 6/4 (or large 5/4) tuba?
I have heard mention that something might be coming, but nothing as of late.

Will people have to refer to it as a JinBloke® or a BlokeBao®?

How soon? Dunno.

It was developed in the US.

It's not a "York-o-phone," but sounds pretty cool.

That is all...
What, is this an Apple product? Designed in the US, manufactured in China...? :P

Seriously, bort...

What do you call that 20K knock-off (pictured above) ?
Oh, I know...

I just think most companies call it "Made in China," not this phoney baloney Apple/Mac "but we're kinda still cool in California."
