I've tried that with the VMI and several other 5 valve CC tubas. It doesn't work any better than it did on the old miraphone with the BBb crook. a converted BBb will not fel as free blowing as a natural BBb. It makes the leadpipe too long and cylindrical. Maybe that is why the Getzen had some success with it, even with the 5th valve tubing the leadpipe is stil fairly short. Adding that much extra tubing to a rotary horn is just wrong.
