good question. At first I was thinking VMI, but the stats and visual themes don't add up.
It's not a cerveny, maybe a chinese copy of a miraphone. Don't laugh, some of them are getting quite respectable. THe last one I played was a copy of a 191 that custom music had. It played OK, not as good as a 191, but still pretty good. THe problem was the braces were so bad that two of them had broken on the one on it's first day on the convention floor.
The price is good, but I would stay away if it's not made in Germany or surrounding areas. You notice the ad doesn't say where it is made. Not a good sign.
