I realize that this forum looks pretty dead but I'm hoping that maybe some old timers may check posts once in a while. I'm in no hurry to buy as I am teaching myself flute presently but I played a bit of tuba in high school and would like to eventually get a euphonium Ihave seen reviews on some of the changing name musical instruments from China and would not consider them but I have run across these Oswal horns from India on Ebay and Amazon. Was wondering if anyone has tried one. I know The Indians are known to produce good metal crafts but I would like to find more info on how they stack up against some well known brands.
Hoping that someone sees this.

I don't know much about brass instruments. However I have heard numerous comments on the quality of some Indian made woodwinds - none of it complimentary. Some of them are even, allegedly, made at the old high pitch (A = 452) which was abandoned pre WW2!!

Thanks for that! Not sure if it's completely relevant to the Oswal brand but I don't think I'd be the first to try an Indian instrument if it's even rumored to be that bad.
Thanks
