hmmmmmmmm,
'cause maybe that particular F tuba takes some dorkin' with the first valve slide to play close to in tune?
'cause maybe miraphone is "warming us up" to a six valve system by tacking on an extra valve to the valve system us 'mericans are used to?
'cause if they put their fifth and sixth on the left, they'd be backwards anyway ? (in other words, opposite left fingerings from a B&S 6 banger)
'cause maybe the guys and gals that play that model just have that 6th valve as a fancy hood ornament?
Who knows?
