Some of these horns are OK. But.... it's the way they are marketed that pisses me off!
C'mon folks.... we all know what it is. Don't lie to us!

To be fair it probably takes a lot of extra work to unwrap it, test and properly adjust and set it up ... and then return it to the Chinese shrink wrap. That has to be worth something doesn't it?

Quite an accomplishment!
American sailboats, airplanes, banjos, guitars and flutes ...
Italian motorcycles and cars ...

The last time this model from this seller with a similar ad came up, someone popped up who knew the importer, and the owner of this store turned out to be a professional performer on one of the small instruments, trumpet or sax or something. It was just turrible, turrible, that any question would be raised.
I think this must be the same as 'Violin King' in Houston. I recall them have a pretty good presence about ten years ago. I bought a 4V oval euphonium 'Maestro' around ten years ago $300 that's still being played by a German band musician in Indianapolis.
