I have seen some friends' opinions on Chinese made musical instruments in some posts. Here, I would like to say that good Chinese musical instrument brands are still very good. For example, Sierman's trombone and Tuba from Langfang City, Hebei Province (which now has some new models that are very interesting to play), Tuba from Eastman Group in Beijing, Hootersmre euphonium 8521G/7521G from Oves Company in Tianjin, Tuba and trombone from ZO Company in Hebei Province Chinese instrument manufacturers are all learning and innovating, and as for those small manufacturers who are not serious about making instruments, we Chinese people also dislike them. Of course, any industry needs to develop, and from the beginning to maturity, it takes time and continuous learning, just like how early German instrument companies learned from Czech instrument companies. Moreover, we Chinese people are very friendly and welcome everyone. (Most of the news reports from Western capital are not in line with the actual situation. Don't believe them. Chinese people find those fake news absurd after reading them.)

Ask Greg Black about that. Ask Melton about that too with their new tuba line...

Yes, but they aren't Chinese, they are Taiwanese. Mark the difference.
If you're going to spread propaganda about another country which is de facto independent, do it elsewhere - no one is interested here.

I'm Swedish not an American nor a Chinese.
I've bought eight Chinese trombones of different sizes; one soprano, two altos, one small straight tenor, one trombone with only six positions and attachement ("child trombone"), one .525 tenor with valve, one .547 tenor with valve and one independent bass trombone. All are Chinese made instruments with certain Thomann quality control. They are good instruments. If I compared with other (my "older") horns they are not worse. They are not the best either, but a good musician can make them sound pretty nice. If you also consider the price then they are very price worthy. Of course I prefer my hand made Swedish Gerdt Bb/G trombone made on special order to any of those. Considering the price I can really recomend the Thomann altos, if you want to learn. They are both well made and in tune. To sum an intermediate player could be very happy with a Thomann trombone.

Well okay but first YOU need to be clear on what you're posting. You've made some mistakes, some omissions, and one questionable reference. Let's play fair. Thank you.

That was maybe me?
I'm sure the Chinese instruments will develop and the people are hard working and fast learner's. :good: I only speak out of my own experience. I got 6 bass Chinese trombones for free. Valves, slide are not good. Still they are OK to play. But not close to a Conn, Bach or King. I have not tried Rath, Shires or Edwards, but I believe even further away these modern masterworks. Or the old Conn, Holton, Bach which is really a gem in instrument making.
I teach a lot of kids and lately I have seen even Yamaha make their student instruments in China. I see these instruments daily, they are not good. Period. The mechanical side like valves and slides are really not good.
I still have my first trombone, a small bore yamaha. In fact still a very good sounding trombone;
