A very common error made by manufacturers is this: They seem to think that a human index finger is just as long as the second finger. But it ain't. Almost every tuba ever made (except the Kalison piston models) could benefit from moving the first valve button about an inch closer to the hand. Would that require a lot of engineering? Perhaps if we all shouted at them together we could get somebody's attention?
