I've ordered a cheaper FH-600 before but had to return because of "too rough" sound, sometimes resonating valve cage, so was hesitating to try another inexpensive flugelhorn.
This one has some imperfections in the finish of the valve caps and the 2nd tuning slide (the smallest) is a bit sticky, but the sound is nice, valves are smooth after oiling and most importantly playing this horn is fun, so I do want to keep it.
Thanks Thomann for being patient with me!
