Do you have room in your yard or on your property somewhere for a shed? I would spend about $2K for a nice size shed to put a few tubas in and even some yard equipment if you so desire. If you stick a horn in the attic it will most certainly get around 120-130 (at least it does in Florida during the middle of the day) degrees in there over the summer which will dry out the horn completely and freeze every moving part. It will get hot in a shed, but not nearly as bad as the average attic, plus you can get to the horns a good bit easier. The metal itself won't get damaged, but you'll have to take the horn to a repairman or spend a lot of time yourself re-loosening all of the moving parts.

Good Luck,
Matt G
