actually, the ones made in China can be very good now.  They have figured out over the past few years how to make them comparable to a Bach, for example.  Some have stainless steel valves and monel valves.  Some are even made in the same factories in China as Bach and other name brands, most made in China now.  To say they are all junk is ignorant in this day and age.
