What tuba is it? Who did you buy it from?
My suggestion is to contact the dealer and the factory in Germany and let them suggest a fix and they will probably send you what you need to get it fixed in the way of parts.
They may even work out a deal on the repair cost in the way of reimbursement from whom you bought it from and then the factory will reimburse the dealer. Warranty on tubas is onlly 1 year but this sounds like a factory defect and they usually try to make it right.
Good Luck
