Please enlighten me....is it the front action valves that are the problem, or the leadpipe to the right of the bell?? I haven't played enough different tubas (both mine are rotaries, with leadpipe to right of bell) to understand the problem. I can't reach pistions, so I'm not going to ever spend any time on a front-action piston horn to figure it out for myself. What is it about seeing? is the bell in the way? Do you need to see the valves? I'm not(that) old yet, but the distance glasses don't work any more and I have music/computer glasses that allow me to see the music but render the conductor a little fuzzy (which, it turns out, is not that bad a thing!)
