Hi,
Bought this on Ebay, wondering if anyone has ever seen one before.

How did the ad describe it, and what did you pay? It's likely Asian-made, which isn't necessarily bad, but similar items that I've seen have been poorly made. You might try to post some better photos.

Looks like it is a rather lightweight construction, so let us know how it plays. _________________ 2019 Martin Schmidt eXcellence

Actually plays very well, and very well constructed, bottom part silver plated(that's why it looks black(tarnish) in pic. Top parts seem like polished brass. Rounded lips on mouthpieces, I have the same 3c,5c,7c in Blessing and Bach, and can tell no difference
I just saw another very interesting variation on ebay, it's in 3 parts, a base backbore and throat, 2 rims, 4 cups, that you can mix and match for $40 _________________ Olds Super('54)
