Dan,
What I would like to see is a fifth valve added to the 186 destined for silver plating.
Also, it would be nice to get some idea of how many man-hours (person-hours?) went into the restoration of a tuba. Here's what we did and it took us this long.

P.S. I thought the valves on my Miraphone 191 were fast until Dan worked on them. Now they fly!
