I bought a bass trombone from Australia. I was told it was made specifically for them. Turns out it was made in China, and I can't get the rotor valves to work right. F-C don't play well.JUST WONDERING IF THIS IS SALVAGABLE, OR IF IT'S JUST JUNK..

If you can, return it. Sounds like a little false advertising to me.

As for those non-working Chinese horns... Sometimes they are fixable, but only to the point of being playable. They really are worthless piles of crap. Granted, occasionally you do get a good one, and some companies building out of China are making great stuff, (Eastman horns, for one)but for the most part, they are throw-away quality.

Hope you didn't loose too much money on it.
