Jay,
I agree with you wholeheartedly. The flat whole step 5th valve has always worked best for me, and proved to make an immense improvement for a Mirafone 1290 CC I worked on. I'm restoring a Mirafone 190-5U BBb that I plan to do the same thing to. The only other system I've tried and liked is a system involving a quint valve, such as on my Cerveny F. The fingering system is not too different, and the advantages in the low register are substantial. Has anyone ever seen a CC with a quint valve, ie., right-thumb valve = low F?
