rowuk-

Unfortunitally I do not remember the exact verbiage used to describe to me what I was trying to describe to 11thchair.
I do know that there are no problems with the horn (either with materials or production...these were worked out the eight years before the horn went on the market) and it is a very professional horn.
I was just informed that as of the New Year, the valves are no longer coming in quite like this.
In my opinion, VCI should describe this and keep the horn like it was because my valves did come in like this and that after one week they went from very good valves to amazing.
And I mean absolutely amazing, as good or better than Shilke and Yamaha (used to be my personal favorite).

Feel free to keep the questions or comments coming.
I will do my best to answer everything.
But do know, I am an Artist Representative and I am not involved in manufacturing.
I do help with some design and marketing.

All the best.
