Well, as I remember, one of the Merker owners had a great deal of trouble with the valves. They took it to a brass specialist and was told that two of the valves had been lapped improperly and would possibly need rebuilt. The other person I knew was never very specific about the problems with his horn. I just remember him complaining quite often about his valves.

Josh,


You wrote "I've only personally known two people who play on merker-matics,
and both have a deep resentment and are very bitter about them."  As a
Merker owner I'm curious to know the circumstances that created this
dissatisfaction.
