I don't see two sets of tubes for each valve.I think it's just an f tuba with a flat whole step 5th valve.Any tuba with a flat whole step 5th valve could be thought of as being able to play in the key a whole step lower with the 5th valve permanantly down...

Wouldn't be so bad, but I see twice as many violas, and TWO (gasp) CONDUCTORS! :shock:

(and you'd think at least ONE of them could find the beat! :P )

... or the rest of the tuba is just a flat whole step up! :wink:

Hey- Since it's got 6 valves, it could be in any "key" of a scale!
(open + 6 :shock: :roll: )
