Klaus,
Not to my knowledge. If someone were to build a pro piston-valve tuba with a nickel-silver leadpipe and valve casings, and use stainless steel pistons, that horn, if cared for well, should be playable for at least a couple of centuries before needing restorative work. We have the technology to do it, but is anyone willing to pay for it?
