Doug, Brandon's Besson three-valver is a compensating instrument, which can indeed play in tune quite well.

Brandon needs to make sure that he replaces it with another compensating instrument. A three-valve, uncompensated tuba will not please him if he is anal about intonation, unless he plays jazz and can therefore choose to avoid the notes that don't work.
