I would jump on it before someone else has a chance to. After all, the mouthpiece is still sealed in the plastic!

There’s “copy”, and there’s “counterfeit”, this is the latter.
I don’t really have a problem with a product that is made to appear like another, and sometimes an “homage” can be a good product. But I have a problem with a design AND a name being knocked off and represented as the original. If that horn was stamped “Baych”, or “Baach”, that’s bad enough, but using the exact name is fraudulent.

Indeed it seemed too good to be true, and indeed it is.

Looks good to me either being inexperienced in the quality.
