Don Butterfield noticed this effect in the early fifties. His solution was to move the leadpipe away from the bell. He told me he could have patented the idea, which seemed to be a new idea at the time. I believe there is a small writeup about this in Bevan's "The Tuba Family." (The book is out of print. Contact me privately and I will send you a copy of the relevant pages.)
