Looks like a small-scale manufacturer. If their artist list is any indication, they're for real.

Someone is selling one of these locally for around $6000. It makes me curious what the original price was. Has anyone seen one of these in the wild? I really do like the design.

I have not seen one in real life, but if I remember correctly I know some of the people who appear in their advertising. Those people can play, so it's probably a good instrument. Would be interested to play one at some point!

I thought I'd heard the name before and it was indeed from your ITF video. It sounded like you liked the bass and small bore horn, played a not great large bore, and heard good things about another large bore.

Sure! They're here in Frankfurt, Germany. They're quite nice from what I've heard although I've never tried their equipment.

I heard that owner (meister) is South Korean trained in Europe and there are some pros who use Littin in Korea. Although I never had chance to try one, there are good reputations about them.

Found out they have a pretty active instagram account. The principle trombone of the Berlin Phil has a model with them with a Meinlschmidt valve, cut bell, and a .551 slide

Very interesting - design on their web page looks good. I'll have to visit them on my next family trip to Frankfurt !
