not compensating...

...a "4+1" system as is found on many piston valve CC tubas.

About as few or many intonation issues as encountered with the very finest 4-valve compensating Eb's.

I just sold one to a guy who had been struggling with a leaky old 3V York Eb "Monster. He had to get used to two things on his 3400:

- approximately 200% of the physical weight of his old tuba
- approximately 400% of the playability of his old tuba
