Very interesting valve layout. I've never seen them arranged like that before :tuba:

Typical layout for an Alex WT.

Keep in mind they are for the left hand, supposedly for use by the horn section and not tuba players....DG

I wonder which big orchestra unloaded them and has ordered a new set since the description states that they have a set of 4 on hand.

Yes, they are left handed and played by horn players, use a horn-like mouthpiece, etc. Nothing really "tuba" about them in the, uh, "tubenet" sense of the word :wink:
