That's exactly what I had done to my 621. Larger bell, fifth valve, new bottom bow, and other updates. I wish they'd offer it as a production model. It can be used for large ensembles, solos, quintet, etc....

I seem to think to myself that this would be that perfect small"ish" CC alternative for Eb in a quintet.

Re: Horn Guys Yamaha 5 valve CC Jim Self
Is the bell from another Yamaha horn or some other tuba?

Re: Horn Guys Yamaha 5 valve CC Jim Self
Has anyone on here played this horn? Would you be willing to comment on pitch, response, or differences from a stock 621? I like the differences between the YFB-621 and 821...
Thanks,
T. J.
