I've often wondered if Selmer USA had to buy everything that the F.E. Olds factory had (or did - even though they didn't have to - to make sure that the trumpets and trombones weren't made anymore...??), sold off all the trumpet and trombone tooling as scrap steel, and sold the leftover parts to Allied Supply (??).

Looks like a cool horn, it being what it is. Priced below the Wessex stuff, too. Did anybody get a chance to play it?
I spent some time playing on it. I remember liking it, but thinking it wasn’t anything remarkable. You can really honk on it, like a sousaphone.

Well everyone has already said what I was thinking. Sooo nope. I suppose competition isn't a bad thing though.

In a few days, one of the repair threads that involves an instrument like that's going to be reactivated.
