I'm kind of interested in the "extra tube being given down the valve for intonation for low pitch" since I think I'd need that for "the lowest pitch in Eb" and my current horns don't have it.

I'm a little concerned that the finish might not be genuine chrome, but only "chrome polish".

Side note: At Christmastime in New York, one of the window displays at Bergdorf Goodman is FULL of these Indian instruments. They are VERY shiny, and almost prop-like and cartoonish in quality. I tried to take a picture, but it was just too bright and shiny. Not fit for making music, but good for something at least. :|
