Not long ago there was a thread about the King Spin™, but watching the big Rudy BBb being spun at 29:57 makes me grateful to have well placed water keys.

Interesting. I've never had to do anything to mine to empty water except use the one waterkey before the main slide.

Water keys on the back slides of valves 3 and 4 basically solve the problem on front piston tubas.
Rarely do they put them there but rather on the front slides where the water doesn't seem to collect.
I applaud Wessex for finally doing that. Who wants to have to do the "ol' spin" just to dump condensated water vapor. It is rather undignified. lol. :roll:

Priceless. I must admit to having done that at work too, but fortunately where I work there are rarely video cameras running.
