A couple of years ago, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to converse with Ed Thayer about this very topic when he visited the Band Instrument Repair program at Renton Technical College. He showed us a Yamaha 321 euph with Thayer valves. It really changed the appearence of the horn, but I didn't find any noticable difference in the playing characteristics.

As far as tuba valves, Ed indicated that it would be impractical at best to develop and mount valves of the appropriate diameter for tubas.
