"I have the fifth slide pulled almost all the way out"

You are absolutely correct. I lengthened my 5th slide within days of buying mine (new).

I'm not sure if Miraphone has redone the bore sizes on their 3/4 student instruments (as they are now front-action and formerly were top-action), but the 3/4 piston "student" Mirafone tubas (old model 1270, etc.) inside/outside tubing was an OK substitute for B&S S "Symphonie" F 5th slide tubing sets...though the inside slide tubing on the Mirafone was a bit thinner, making it about .010" larger bore.
