I always thought that that original body to the top-action 4V EEb tuba that Yamaha offered in the '70's (Was it called the YEB-321 ??) was "about" the same instrument as the front-action/top-action 3/4 student BBb and "pro" front-action 3/4 BBb/CC/F models of today (very minor differences).

(In other words) I sort was under the impression that using roughly that basic old EEb 321 "body", that Schilke came up with their "amazing new design" (ie: "Canadian Brass", as you might recall) which launched the whole "pro" Yamaha 3/4 front-action series of tubas (??).
