Seems like a great deal. These were pretty highly touted a couple years ago.

Anybody know about the valves on these? That's my biggest concern with Chinese horns... rotary valves. These were Chinese parts assembled in the USA? Correct?

That thing just looks “RIGHT”.

Dunno, the proportions just look good and handsome.

Agreed. I'd bet it plays very well. I would love to have that. My only concern would be the valves. But maybe (hopefully) they would be fine.

You could always PM Matt and get his opinion.

Drool...
I love the location of the 4th valve slide, for 2-4 and low register combinations.
