Well, my old Bundy with the Selmer logo used to belong to the Port
Chester, NY High School Marching Band (I can see the outline of the
stencil on the 20-ton case), and it still plays great despite being
marched around in football games, competitions, and I assume in weather
that would remind you of the storm scenes in King Lear. Selmer still
makes student-level basses under their own logo, no Bundy to be seen.
Are they as good as my old horn? Don't know. Are anyone's current-crop
horns as good as what used to be around?
