That's a great pic. Is that an eastern German-made tuba?

As far as six valves is concerned, I really think the system is best for those fairly rare tubas that can be played without #1 slide manipulation. (One can be driven insane slapping their left hand from the two valves on the left to the slide on the top.)

You're probably kidding about the scales (?), but I wonder how many took it to heart and have improved their technique over the past week? (me, for one)
