Fit and finish on my Schilke is immaculate...not a flaw to be seen anywhere. I believe that they do at the factory what the guys who "rebuild" other brands of horns do in their private shops (for an additional price of course). If, as you say, they take the extra hours to hand fit everything...why then that's what you pay for and that's why they have a reputation for consistency and accuracy.

Have you ever looked into the bottom caps of a Schilke? I have... THEY ARE NUMBERED with the correct valve number. I presume this is to ensure that the flats line up when they are put on.
