My Bach Gold Trim Kit for my C just came in the mail yesterday. One of the upper valve caps was scratched AND the stripping was screwed up, so it only screws onto the valve halfway. The waterkey is a tad too big, so in order for it to fit between the "posts" that hold it in, those posts have to be bent apart slightly, meaning the the screw can't go through both posts. Oh yeah, my horn also got scratched in the middle of trying to put the waterkey on. OTHER THAN THAT, I'm sure the kit has the potential to make my horn look even prettier.
I have to wait while the music store sends me a replacement kit, get a full set of "working parts," and take them to a repair shop to get the darn thing working.

I know about Bach's awful quality control, but this is just rediculous.
