I am intrigued by the "quint valve" that you described, because I dreamed up the same thing myself back in the early 70's, using a 5-valve Mahillon F tuba. It just seemed like the right thing to do for that tuba. Eventually I sold the horn to Jay Krush. I described the fingering system in the Summer 1980 issue of the Tuba Journal. Until today I did not know there was a name for it. Do you know if anybody else uses quint valves?
