This is my one minor complaint about my new model King 2341. I find that the spit valves are pretty much useless.

Here is how I go about draining the Tuba:
1) Use the 2 spit valves on the main and 4th valve tuning slides
2) Tip to left and pull valve slides 1(top), 2 & 3(top)
3) Hold tuba upright and pull valve slides 1(bottom), 3(bottom), 4 & main
4) Rotate tuba 360 degrees to the left and pull valve slides 4 and main


Now, I do not do all that every time. The top 1st & main valve slides fill up very often. The 4th sometimes, and the rest I only drain about once a night, depending on the length of the rehearsal.
