Greetings from the Tubaranch

I asked Mr Phillips about this last night and he said there will be an option to add a fifth valve soon. He then told me that during his long career, he never had a complaint from anyone with intonation due to the lack of a fifth valve - this includes the low D flat which he played a privliged note.

There are many fine players such as Chuck Daellenbach that prefer only a four valve instrument. As far as myself, I will not choose one horn over another just because of a fifth valve.
