I have played on a friend's St. Pete at All-State audtitions and I noticed that the pitch was slightly flat compared to my Cerveny. It was a school horn and when the director ordered the horns he sent them to the Tuba Exchange and got a completely new rotary valve set. All in all I liked the horn but the lead pipe was a little too narrow for as big a bore as St. Petes normally have. Personally I recommend getting the valves replaced it seems to help out for most of the problems.
