Sure,

The bell is from a Holton monster Eb. The bugle is from King tuba parts. The valves are King, the leadpipe is a standard King replacement (made by Getzen) One slide has Reynolds ferrules, but the tubing is King, I'm pretty sure. The rotor and rotor tubing is B&S. The bumper/alignment material is McMaster-Carr for the rotor, and cork and synthetic material from Votaw for the pistons. The lever saddle is the patented g lever from instrument innovations, but I ground one part of it off that helps it fit on the trombone, so it would fit where I wanted it to go on the tuba. Instead of using an old spoon or fork handle (which was pretty cool IMHO), I used a part made for being a valve lever for the thumb valve lever this time. The main slide is mostly derived from a Boem and Meinl product. The water key cork is old cork, for now.

Doglegs? We don’t need no stinking doglegs.
