I believe I saw that this Asian manufacturer is going back to the multi piece slides from the 1 piece slides they used to do...
Those 1 piece slides were a bunch of BS and made repair way worse...
Dear high-priced Asian manufacturer of band instruments,

I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Re: Dear high-priced Asian manufacturer of band instruments,
It might be getting a little off-topic. But... I'm seeing some fairly high-prices attached to old names that originate in the same factories and the ones that have obvious Asian names.bloke wrote:IS there more than one high-priced Asian manufacturer?Dutchtown Sousa wrote:Can I guess the brand?
For some reason... horns that bear brand names seem to be worth more... even if they are exactly the same as 'brand X'.
I have an Asian alto saxophone in here with a broken Bb/C 'pinky paddle'. The horn is branded Reynolds but obviously never saw the US except maybe to change the packaging.
