Interesting fourth valve

That's just awesome!

I love the wacky leadpipe, and the 5th valve placement. The valve block (particularly the routing of the 5th valve tubing) reminds me of a 4-rotor section with a 5th rotor from a piston valve section.

Very cool!

Oh, you're right... that's the 4th valve. Whoa...

It might have been nice if they had dropped the fifth in downstream from that fourth. But, manufacturers don't seem to want to do this with rotory-valved tubas.

I've never known why either. Best I can figure out is that they've tried it and it didn't work as well (or at least didn't work any better).
