Most likely Zo, which is a Chinese company. I have their "Tiny Dragon" BBb Tuba.

Re: Is this for real?
' seems to me that the one in F - were it to be horizontalized in design - could function as a compact cimbasso (albeit challenging to hold and play for extended periods of time).
These can't possibly sound like (even) 3/4 tubas.

ZO or Wessex needs to build an F-sharp cimbasso to play the Hebrew slaves Verdi chart in Nabucco...

As amateur as they come...I know just enough to be dangerous.

Re: Is this for real?
This guy is being absurdly optimistic, considering that this exact model is listed new for $1158 . . .

That's what I hear when they walk in and see my Zo "Tiny Dragon".
