The "Mercedes by Bach" instruments were an intermediate line of student instruments Bach tried to market a few years back. I believe they were made from OLDS tooling which Bach bought when OLDS went under. I know the Bach tuba is identical to the OLDS student tuba (I forget the model number, not a bad little 3/4 sized student horn BTW)

I am sure the Mecedes tuba you talk about has nothing to do with Bach however. The OLDS/Bach tuba is a 3 valve piston horn. ken k
