My teacher, often quoted by many, told me, "the more valves a tuba has, the more valves it usually needs." He had a six valve Mahillion in his studio which would not play in tune if it had 12 valves.

I heard one of Carl Keleinstuber's doctoral recitals where he played French tuba. Until then, I would not have considered this conversation worthy of interest.

Since the discussion includes talk about saxhorns I thought I would include a link to a performance of Opus 333. They all seem to play Willson saxhorns, in Bb. I guess they are all in Bb but it's just a guess.
