Top valve recording bell - what the CC tuba crowd has been waiting for.

Now we know what bloke wanted the rotary valves for - CB50 style long whole step valve before the block. Nice work! Looking forward to seeing the front valve version.

Can't speak for why most CC players would want to play a front-valved horn.
I prefer front-valves. On top-valved horns all the blood tends to eventually rushes out of my hand.
And that's it.
Though I did try a couple of Besson-style Eb's and found them almost impossible to hold up. Shame really.

did I miss something? or do you mean the looong leg on the bow? are these even on the bell-up bishers?
Boy, if that doesn't look a lot like a York 692....
