OK, despite a crying need for reason, the lil LeBlanc HP tubas
are now part of the discussion. Sheesh next we'll be saying those "budgie" tubas
from china are worth a blow! Seems odd that these whole new lines of tubas never make it out here to our goofy CA coast, but I hesitate to make any more acknowledgement than that,
'specially since the drubbing I took questioning the legions of ravers over the 52/56 horns over a year ago.
So, since NO dealers on this side of the Rockies seem to think UMI is willing to help them make a buck off of sale of one or two horns every six months
(read: UMI wants volume-focus dealers to pander to them)
... is there any chance I can get a familiar point of comparison?
Maybe Joe or Charlie or an enthusiast-user-owner can tell me,
how's the UMI construction compare to, say, that hallowed icon
of workmanship, the "St. Pete"? IS it worth twice the money?
