Keith,

The Schill instruments are the same as the Selman instruments.  Don't 
know why, but Great Tunes Direct seems to be changing the names on their 
instruments over lately to Schill.  Somebody was previously talking 
about the Selman bass trumpet.  I'm pretty sure you'll find it's 
identical to the Schill.  You may find it on Ebay with several other 
names too.  They come from China, and you can get any name you want on 
them if you buy a container full at a time.  Probably made by Jinbao 
(however you spell it).
