I'm sure you're right. Of course, I haven't seen it. It just occured to me that the student 1140 King instrument might make a nice F tuba, if cut down.

The 5J has an 18" flat-flair bell whereas this King has a 15" funnel-flair bell. The King's bows seem to have less taper and might (??) be easier to cut down to an F instrument with better intonation and focus.
