Well, I have been on the lookout for counterfeit Bachs on eBay, but this is the first I have noticed a fake Yamaha 8335, and they don't seem to be making any attempt to even look like one. Some of the Bach copies have been getting pretty convincing at first blush in things like bell stamps and particularly cases and paperwork. This one just has a laser engraving of the YTR 8335.

Interesting - the receiver looks just like the one on the YTR-2335.

Everyone should flood them with emails and report it.

Looks like the seller has scrubbed the picture of the mouthpiece receiver which was laser engraved YTR 8335 and the reference to that model number on the write up. I know I reported it and thanks to others who may have done the same, although it is still described as a "professional trumpet"!
