Well, you mentioned in your post that when you pushed the valve at another angle is worked well.... The piston is designed to be pressed from straight down, this required discipline in holding you hand in this position, and this is amplified my the 'big valve'-edness of the 2145 (and other MWs as well). I am curious, is this your first piston horn, or first in a while. I have found that, as a player of a rotary instrument, my fingers got used to 'paddle-playing' and then when I went back to piston (HB21) I had to really train my fingers to arch and press the valve from straight above.

Just a thought..
