I'm a former high school tuba player (who isn't, right?) and I want to get back into playing after a 20 year hiatus. I went looking on eBay for some deals, and some guy called "tubaking" is selling 3 and 4 valve "Cb" tubas. What the heck is a C-flat tuba? He doesn't know, which makes me wonder. Also, he says that he gets them from China. Does anyone know of any Chinese brass instrument manufacturers, and if so, are they any good?

Anyone with any recommendations regarding deals, locations, information, would be greatly appreciated. I know Yamaha, Conn and Miraphone, with the Miraphone being a "dream" buy, since they're so darn expensive. How's the St. Petersburg? Any good?

Help, and thanks in advance,
David
