The F. Schmidt tubas sold by Brook Mays are VMI tubas that have been relabelled. The reason for the different brand name is to avoid conflicts with existing "exclusive" importers. They are identical to VMI-branded tubas, which means they are good tubas that represent a great value. The valved Schmidt that Brook Mays sells is like the VMI 3301 and 3302 tuba (depending on the number of valves). It's a solid 4/4 piston tuba that has a good sound and is pretty easy to play.
