Has anyone had a problem with the valves on a horn that is less than 10 years old? Hi Scott, I have an older Finke triple. Johannas replaced the old rotors with the new and I've had no problems since. I don't know why his horns are not more popular in the US. The workmanship on Finke horns is, IMHO, the best. The horns I've played have been responsive, accurate throughout four registers and with a smooth complex sound. I played a Finke Americus at one of the workshops that was, IMHO, one of the best horns there. Also, his horns are priced lower than many horns in the same class. I'm sure many of his horns will be at the IHS Symposium this summer in Macomb. BTW, the Finke triple is on Hornplayer.net. Regards, Jerry in Kansas City **************Worried about job security?
