My friend's mother bought him a Haydn french horn for christmas one year. It was one of the most amazing sounding instruments I had ever heard. All of a sudden, about two weeks after playing it nonstop, the thing just stopped playing, like there was something in the tubing. He had it flush a whole bunch of times and it was check for clogs, nothing. It just didn't play any more. Piece of garbage.

Allowing the valve to rotate when it shouldn't

That's weird--the guy quotes $375 for shipping to Europe. Maybe he's never heard of Seattle? (Must be somewhere just north of Andorra).
I'm not passing judgement on this brand, but there was a guy on eBay who says he took Chinese-made double horns and tore them down and reworked them. Claimed that it improved the playability to a level roughly comparable with a pro-line Conn or Holton.
