| The finish issues are suprising but serious. Did you play the horn when it wasn't full of gunk? No matter how it got full, a play test of an instrument clogged with anything "that looked like instant mashed potatoes" is obviously not a valid play test.
It just seems silly that you would publish a review of the way a horn plays and then say it was clogged.
Kind of like publishing a terrible review of a new Porsche; saying the finish was bad (good point ) and that it accellerated slowly and handled poorly, only to follow up by saying it was missing one plug wire and the tires were under inflated. I would say, stick to talking about the finish issues. Otherwise, replace the plug wire, pump up the tires and drive the thing! Otherwise one wonders what the point is.
If you said the finish was poor and the thing was dirty inside so you couldn't give it a real test, you would appear credible.
