[TPIN] Cheap, cheap trumpet?

[Bob Romans]

Hi Listmates...I've gotten so many replies to this Cheap Trumpet thread I started, that I can't reply to all of the listmates who responded to me on and off list. 
I'm just wondering why such a reputable company like Woodwind and BrassWind would risk what I always thought was a very good reputation by importing and selling these cheap trumpets!
Warm regards,

  That's the Chinese made Bach. It plays WORSE than the Costco horns.
  Not worth $2.29
