Orla Ed Thayer (the inventor himself) made a euphonium with 4 Thayers on it. He said it worked tremendously! I corresponded with him briefly about this approx. 4 years ago because I was also curious about a Thayer tuba. He sayed it was possible, not difficult to do, and would yield great benefit. He said he was just SO busy making trombone valves that it was out of the question. Of course the matter of expensive tooling-up process has to be considered...
