look. i just got my st. pete. everything seems to be fine. and if you are that uncertain about the instrument's quality, vince has a five year warranty on them. i personally having no idea of what you call a good rotary valve, i will say this: my valves are quick tight and smooth thus far, and like with any new item you get, it needs break in time. i am still breaking them in, but with each session, they seem to work better. but if you want to be "safe" and get a german tuba, go ahead. it doesnt matter what key, just get the instrument that you sound best on. just adding some balance to the posts that came before me...........
