Looks like an awesome horn... Sure would like to see a brand new one! Or at least one all fixed up!

Is this type of horn playable by us standard tuba players or do we need special powers to make it sound good?! Still look really cool!!!

"the upper three valves, on the left side of the instrument are "1 - 2 - 3" as commonly found on most tubas. On the lower right, the third (sixth) valve is 2 1/2 tones, effectively a "fourth valve". The fifth valve is a compensated half-tone, relative to the sixth. ... The first / fourth valve on the right is the same as the regular third valve, one and a half tones."
