So, people like the sound but the valves are junk?
What good is a nice sound if it doesn't come out proper due to crappy valves?
If you bought one from Russia direct it'd cost a grand but it has poor quality control?
I don't blame anyone for trying, but did St Pete owners hope to get more than they paid for?
If you bought one for three grand from tuba exchange, how much more quality control can be added after the fact? Will you admit it publicly?
So you say you like yours now? Good for you.
Get back to us in a few years.
here's a clue: remember the Yugo automobile? Or the original Subaru 360?? If you don't look them up on the web - the few subarus sold were involved in disproportionate numbers of fatal accidents, and the yugo? Well, they were Yugos!
