Seems to me there is an opportunity for engineering here. Couldn't the bass neck be made out of some material that has nearly the same expansion coefficient as the strings? If so, the instrument could be nearly immune to temperature changes. Clock makers figured out that trick hundreds of years ago. I don't see how it could be done for tubas, but it should be easy for electric guitars and basses. I'll be happy to settle for ten percent of the profits after somebody puts this idea into production.
