Stainless steel
Would it technically by possible to make a stainless steel tuba? How would this affect sound?

Re: Stainless steel
If stainless steel is so hard to construct brass-type instruments from, how are the inner knucles/passage-tubing then mounted in stainless steel pistons as known from amongst other samples my British made (1999) Besson 981 Eb tuba?

Re: Stainless steel
According to this link, Schilke compared trumpets made from various materials. The two extremes were lead (soft - no overtones, so it produced pure sine waves) and steel (hard - lots of overtones, rang when you tapped it, but "dead' when you tried to play it).
