I had one shipped down from Violinking in Houston.They are the horns formerly known as Ziess,Hamstone,The Giardinelli tuba,and there was one at Dillon,s that theysaid was an Alexander which is where I believe the design originated.They aren"t well put together but the one that showed up here played well and the only big drag was the linkage which was the old S style and noisy.It reminded me of the Cerveveys that used to come into New York in the 70"s,not put together very well but you could definitely find a good player if you try enough of them.Good luck.EdFirth
