Damn, I play two, and you forgot both of them
Packer and King
I won't put my Packer in with the chinese stencils because it's a different factory than JinBao, much higher quality, and Just a better instrument over all
I added King and JP Sterling to the list.

Technically, Not all packers are sterlings. Mine is the 274, but I guess that's close enough
While the results on this forum might vary, I have a feeling the two most popular brands overall, in America, are Yamaha and Besson.
University of Miami - BM Euphonium Performance '21
Indiana University - MM Bass Trombone and Euphonium Performance '24
Besson Prestige 2052S
Courtois 551BHRA

You forgot Kanstul :-)
Forgot to mention Geneva and Cerveny.
OK, I added Cerveny, Geneva, and Kanstul. That's partly why these polls are tricky. Lots of choices today. I would never have thought of Cerveny, for example.

How about Amati? I rented one for a few years. Great sound. But one of the valves was problematic.
