I have one, and i like it. My one complaint is that one of the reasons i bought it is because they insisted there would be no valve sounds. Unfortunately, if i quickly alternate between draw and blow on hole 2, i hear the valve flapping. Maybe it's an issue with my technique? I don't know as I'm a diatonic guy. I like it other than that one issue.
instead of hole 2 draw try using hole 2 blow with the slide. It's the same note and easier to go between those two notes. Not that you should always use that option but it's a workaround.
I personally find usual valved chromatics being perfectly bendable
me too but I wanted to test that. It does feel a bit different on this one.
