A long time ago, I used to own an Alex CC with the typical huge mouthpiece receiver. After I made a very thin gold brass *"venturi" (out of an old Conn 88H outside slide tube) about 3+ inches long, the response was more sure and the out-of-tune pitches were easier to lip in tune. Later on, this tuba ended up in Hartford, then Utah, now - ??

*tapered to receive a mouthpiece, gets slightly smaller, then gets larger until it reaches the bore size of the existing mouthpipe tube
