One thing I noticed when I played alot of the Conn 52's or 56's is that when you pulled the tuning slides evenly top and bottom on the 3rd and 4th slide, it had a better response and openess in the way it played.

Same has been with any piston that has 2 3rd or 2 4th slides, upper and lower. Didn't make sense as to why but it did.

Try it if it is not already tuned that way or try it both ways for fun. I have found that tubas play differently with the upper and lower tuning slides pulled different amounts.
