Happy to chime in here. I bought a St Pete as my first horn back in about 1994...it WAS a very good-sounding horn, with remarkably good intonation. The main drawback was the POOR QUALITY OF THE VALVES; even after being re-worked with upgraded linkage and paddles, they were looose, noisy, leaky, and SLOW. I would NOT recommend buying one; at $3,000, they aren't even that good a bargain, what with all the good used BBb's out there.
