If you want to see some *REAL* junk, take a look at the instruments being offered from India on ebay and Yahoo. Nadirali is a brand that comes to mind. I got to see a cornet up close--valves didn't fit, caps weren't interchangeable (and extremely difficult to screw on) and the ports through the pistons were already separating from the piston body. Absolutely unplayable-fit for interior decoration only.
Wonder what the Indian Army bands buy?
