Current Olds tubas are sold by two Jewish guys in New Jersey who call themselves "N.E.M.C." The tubas themselves are Taiwanese, although I have seen some Olds stuff that was low-end Cervany. The Taiwanese 3/4 BBb's are a King 1160 knock-off, and to me look just like the D.E.G. Shafer (Taiwanese King knock-off) that I offer for sale. Actually, the Taiwanese King copy has better fitting pistons and better aligned slides than the King itself does, to my observation.
