I would like buy one of the old-fashioned fingerbuttons to fit the '60's vintage 4/4 Besson compensating tubas - the kind with the "armored" look on the valve caps. - The fingerbuttons have smallish pearls and widen out at the bottom (with a "trapezoid" appearance from the side view.)
"Ugly-brown" is just fine.
To avoid confusion between the euphonium and tuba fingerbuttons (similar appearance but different sizes and different threads), the tuba fingerbutton that I'm looking for measures .850" at the bottom (a bit less than 7/8").
thanks very much,
Joe S.
