Conn Eb with CC tuning slide "extension"...

But how can you pull out the valve slides far enough for a CC tuning without them falling out?

More to the point, even if you can, how do you pull that third valve slide out far enough so that it doesn't go past the bottom bow and interfere with your lap/the chair!?

Might make a neat bass bugle in the key of C! Never mind using the valves.

A type of "perk" (very cheap I might add) used quite cleverly to get a potentially higher selling price (to an unsuspecting and inexperienced buyer).

Maybe they should have put the extension here instead?! BTW, how do you reach the valves and hold the horn with this extension???

Easy... this is obviously a two-player tuba. One blows and the other pushes the buttons!

Just a bit!

Looking at the specs:

alberto-jose wrote:es ist ca. 59 cm hoch
und hat einen Trichterdurchmesser von ca. 21 cm

or (in English):

it is approx. 59 cm high
and has a funnel diameter of approx. 21 cm

So:

59 cm high = 23.228"
21 cm bell = 8.268"

Sounds like an alto horn to me!
