I think cutting down classic old tubas such as Yorks is CRAZY!!!!!!!
The fact is that you don't buy most old Yorks purely for their sound but because they are retain a part of US tuba manufacturing that is gone forever, YORK - Grand Rapids.
Once a magnificent old BB York is cut down and valves modified you no longer own true York tuba but an irreversibly modified piece of junk that doesn't even sound that good.
Plus each time one is modified it essentially removes a genuine article from circulation forever.
