Ok... the New Tuba Is...

NICE! That's definitely a lot of valves, and even more paddles. is the 2nd valve already vented for use with the trigger/kicker?

She's beautiful! I might need to invite you over for duets and/or beer so I can check her out!

Doc, I’ve been to Geretsried twice (among other places) and I’ve played every f tuba - the 56AFT is consistently in my top 3. That’s a great tuba you’ve got there.

Killin it on an excellent tuba. I know one other person with an AFT... Also loves it, also sounds excellent on it.

Hi Doc,
Congrats on the new tuba. It sounds great. You sound great. In one of the shots in your videos it looked like you were using one of the blokepieces perhaps with the Profundo rim. If so which one was it? I'm learning "F" and am still searching for the best mouthpiece. I do use some of Bloke's and like them very much on my 186 and on a Yamaha 321 Eb. Thanks.

I see that that tuba has a valve bore of .748" - .826" / 19-21 mm.
I was just wondering how many different sized valves it has.
Are they 2x 19mm, 2x 20mm, and 2x 21mm?
Or maybe 2x 19mm, then 1x each 19.5, 20, 20.5, 21?
