Gold-plated monsterweights will be a valuable addition to your Jinbao, but you'll need to make a simple modification after they've been installed.

Fill the horn with a medium aggregate concrete (Sakrete is fine). This will increase the mass of the resonant body even more than the monsterweights. The result will be a tuba that will simply refuse to play out-of-tune (or at all, for that matter). A side benefit is that the added mass will serve as a theft deterrent.

And it'll look great sitting in your garden.
