With all the talk recently about the spacers available to convert a MW 21XX model CC tuba to BBb or that the Willson F and Eb are basically from the same mold, I was wondering if such an arrangement exists for the Yamaha YFB621. I have always felt that this tuba would make a really great small Eb horn if only Yamaha would make one in Eb. To date they haven't, at least that I know of. How hard would it be to make the spacers to convert this horn to Eb? Does anyone in the know have a clue if Yamaha will consider making this model in Eb in the near future?

Hope you all had a wonderful Passover and/or have a wonderful Palm Sunday.
