A good retailer could, should & would
Unfortunately most retailers claims to be just that... :-(

The one and only of this model I have now has had its slides cut so it plays fairly well in tune and is actually now a reasonably good CC. Has a nice broad tone.

Anyone in the UK who is looking for an inexpensive piston 5/4 CC is welcome to visit and try to see how they like. I still do not think it plays as wells as the rotary 4/4 CC and have no intention of ordering any more. The one I have is likely to remain the only of this tuba in the world with WESSEX on the bell!

^^This guy seems to do his job....and knows a bit of marketing too :wink:
I was in fact very temted to try one out. I mean how bad could it be?
Until a few person told me..Hey bud..It actually IS that bad.
That was before the mod...But that mod is the easy part, so
I decided to leave that plan alone :-)
