I think the greatest "tell" as to the potential quality of these instruments is that the pictures SHOW the third valve to be either:
1. having a VERY short stem
2. severely out of alignment
3. sans spring
Thinking I'll pass on this one...

If it's got such a "short throw" third valve, than maybe what it's compensating for is a little more Freudian...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

D'oh.
Or that.
No more posts at the end of the school year for me. My frequency of dumb mistakes seems to grow exponentially this time of year.
