is this a Cerveny stencil Sanders or made-in-chyna Sanders?

If I wasn't so determined to get a large Eb, this horn would be MINE. It's so much like my first tuba, I'm wondering if it's the same horn.

Sander (without the 'S') was a pre-WW2 European maker. Sanders (with the 'S') is/was the house brand of Custom Music in Ferndale, Michigan. This particular horn was made by Cerveny/Amati. Recent Sanders tubas are Asian. In fact... one of the first imports was the Sanders 'Imperial' which was a B & S 101 copy that was made somewhere in Asia. However there was a period in the 60's when the Sanders tubas were stencils actually made by B & S/VMI.

The folks are Custom Music have always been fairly 'tight-lipped' about the exact origin of their house brands but from what I've seen... they have payed attention to quality and have always been a good value.

I did have to play D in the staff 4th valve, Eb 2-3,and E 1-2. But other than those fingerings tuning was solid. Remember, this is design that the miraphone 186 CC is based on. Tried and true
Got it today. All I can say is DAMN! what a horn! I way under estimated how great it would be.

It's actually in good shape. Looks like it had just been cut to do dent work, and then left unlacqured. I plan to remedy that. Nothing wrong with it otherwise :tuba:
