I was interested in the posts regarding the Miraphone 181 F tubas below that you had replied to. This is regarding the re-design of the 1st valve slide on the newest manufacture. You said that the this new design brings the top of the staff G (1st valve)to pitch. How is the 1st valve Bb below that? Typaclly on the Miraphone's this note using 1st valve is sharp and nees a good slide pull.
Thanks,
Russ
