I aggree that it is pretty neat. It would be cool to make a simple and inexpensive device that makes buying an "Automatic" compensator less appealing. And that is probably why they do not make them anymore. If you have one of these devices you will be less likely to "step up" to a true compensating euphonium. It is simply not financially appealing to Yamaha.
