I bet you can buy a brand new or used bell from another tuba model and use the full length of that bell and make it even taller, now that would be a cool thing to see and play. These days, you dont need tuners, metronomes or conductors to play at the pro level so who cares bout the pitch once its fitted with another full lenght bell. Lets see what fits and try to add at least another foot on it and make it about 60 inches tall. King pit tuba, watch out.
