Even when soldering the crack the drilled hole is needed to stop the propagation of the crack. Resting the tuba on the bell is sure to elongate a crack once its started. The rolled rim of the bell is the strength that was supposed to keep the bell from cracking.
Sounds to me as if the maker failed to anneal the bell close enough to the end of the spinning.
