This is mine. Totally different leadpipe than this clone. Other differences as well.

yeah...' sorry for the wrong picture, but it ain't no RM 4/4 clone either...I used to own one of those. I think the reason that my mind took in "3/4" when "4/4" was clearly typed was that I knew good-and-well that it wasn't a copy of a RM-4/4.
That's why I said: "Maybe it's not a clone afterall". I mentioned the Rudi 4/4 more for it's bugle size/shape, from what I remembered off the top of my head. It is closer to this tuba than the 3/4 Rudi you posted, bloke.

I guess this Chinese tuba is a combo of Rudi, HB, Mira, and St. Pete CC tubas; so it's not a clone...

Threads like this remind me of the 'jellybean' cars in the 80's. Couldn't tell a Corvette from a Mazda at 300 paces!

Looks like a rotary Kalison... (if such a horn existed)
