The huge hands that the valves were designed to be comfortable for were not Sam Pilafian's, but Jon Sass's. At 6'10", his hands (not to mention his lungs) are a bit bigger than your average tuba player. I had my thumb ring raised about an inch and a half and secured to the first valve slide. It's a lot more comfortable now.
