Consider picking up a 3 valve Yamaha 3/4 BBb. If you study their construction, you will see that at the small end of the instrument (but PAST the valve section) there is an approximately two foot long hunk of virtually cylindrical tubing, sort of in a aquare loop shape. If you have a repairman that can remove this loop and effectively remove the precise amount (right at the two foot range) of tubing, you will have a compact 3-valve "bang-around" CC tuba that actually closely resembles in many ways Yamaha's "pro" model 3/4 CC.
