I wonder why they have positioned the paddles too far away to reach while playing and too largely spaced for a normal hand? Do they actually work? One thing about a rotary tuba is that however large these can be positioned conveniently and of size to use.
Wessex Tubas - Nice playing tubas at reasonable prices! NOW SELLING IN THE USA, as well as the UK

Evidently it was made to be a work of art rather than a playable tuba.

Um, no. From what I understand it is playable and already has a piece written for it to be played at the opening of the Competition. Maybe Jorg only has to use the first and second valve - it is a subcontrabass so it would make sense.
As for the maker, I just know who made the bell -
Meisterwerkstatt für Metallblasinstrumentenbau Jürgen Voigt
In addition to the poorly-planned paddles, notice the location of the water key. You can't dump without tipping the horn over pretty far, but it is mounted firmly in a stand that seems to make tipping impossible.
