Most popular tuba brands in Asia

Post by bort »

I'm curious -- what are the most popular tuba brands in Asia? Like in China and Japan, what's the most popular among serious players (university and professional)?

I'd expect to see a lot of Yamaha and Chinese brands, but I'm curious to what extent the european brands are popular, and if the American stuff exists at all (as if it existed here :roll:). Also curious if some european brands are more popular there than in other places (like, would you see more Rudy Meinl's or Willson's there than in the US?).

Not sure what people might know, but thought it'd be interesting to ask.

I'm told that Kanstul is selling more low brass overseas than in the US, so I suspect that they have a fair representation in Asia.
