Re: Geneva take over Amati-Denak
So I'm guessing then that cerveny and all those other companies will start costing a lot more for the same thing. That's too bad.
We have a Geneva Eb tuba here at work. It wasn't usable in an ensemble when we got it. Had to have the main slide, first slide, and the first compensating slides cut just to make it usable. And it cost a LOT more than a cerveny comp Eb (the same tuba really) would have cost.
I'm just hoping that this purchase doesn't end up dropping the quality while raising prices. I guess we shall see.

Not gonna lie... your original post looked like spam to me (I didn't understand the subject title, the post was brief and had a weird looking link in it).
Beyond that, I guess it's better than becoming part of the Buffet group!
