Hi klaus.
could well be. as for the fourth valve: on certain tubas and special occasions i´ve used the 3rd valve as a major 3rd instead of minor. to me this looks as if they´ve applied just that to the 4th valve on this one, which would make sense, cause the 4th valve would give you a nice and open eb and with all 4 you´d end up somewhere round pedal bnatural or bb..
intersting beast, really
my 2 cents
