A long time ago there was an article in the Instrumentalist called "building the perfect tuba" or something like that. I talked about the way a tuba could be improved to make it for ergodynamic and less harmful to the player. One of the things mentioned was moving the leadpipe away from the bell of the horn. By the way, I feel almost blind in my left eye, and I play a rotory valve tuba. If there is anybody out there with a Instumentalist anthology, I would love to see excerpts from that article posted somewhere. After all, it's a matter of public safety.
