Ever heard of DHgate.com?

I’ve been looking to buy a another horn, and I came across this website.

It’s selling Bach and Edwards trombones for about $500. I just think it’s too good to be true. E.g. https://m.dhgate.com/product/bach-strad ... 2293215721

Has anybody had experience buying from this website?

Site looks very Chinese. Lots of your typical Chinese stuff. I would suspect that the "name brands" are counterfeits.

Trent Hamilton evaluated a phony Bach Trumpet on his You Tube site.

Thank you. Very helpful video!

Looks like an Ali baba-style knock-off site. Just looking at the link you posted, that is definitely a cheap copy. I'm basing that on the laser engraving using incorrect fonts, and overall materials used. Buyer beware.

Yep, it is a Chinese website.
Dont trust it.

The white gloves are a strong clue. Not sure if they are meant to protect the instrument or the player's hands.

42BG with “phosphore bronze”...

No.

I believe that you can get a genuine Chinese Edwards for $500. That seems clear to me.
