I've had my St. Pete for 4 years and am completely satisfied with it. No problems with the valves and only have one ding. The finish hasn't faired to well, but overall still looks great. I love the sound. I got it from Vince and have no problems with him or his products! The "dislike" portrayed by so many for this horn may be because they are light-weight (dings will occur easier if one doesn't care of them) and the nickle finish is somewhat less durable than other finishes. As for the valves, I can only compare mine, which have worked fine for me.
