Thanks for the information. I have a St Pete from The Tuba in Germany, and I have wondered if the versions shipped to TE were exactly the same. I'll get some calipers and check it out. I'm not sure why I would want to change to the MW tubing unless it was just a status thing to say I had MW parts. Of course if I somehow damaged a slide, I know where I could get a replacement. On a related topic, I have seen a photo of the Mirafone 186, and it looks to me like the Ruskies pretty much copied the 186 when they made the St Pete. Anyone working in instrument repair have any observations? Unfortunately, where I live there are very few tubas of any kind to make comparisons with first hand.
