Hi!

I just got back from a trip to Germany. I was able to visit VMI, MW, Rudy Meinl, Amati, and Miraphone. (As well as a moutpiece maker near Rudy Meinl) You will not find a language problem anywhere except maybe Amati or Cerveny. (I didn't get out to the Cerveny plant) VMI and Amati are very close. Miraphone and MW are only about an hour and a half from each other. Rudy Meinl is near Nuremberg. All the factories are very different. It's amazing that they all make tubas, but that they can do it in such different ways!

Have a great trip!
