Yes, it was terrible!. Poor sound and out of tune. I had a Boosey & Hawkes compensating F tuba made in the 1960's which was just the opposite. I can't imagine why anyone would want one with all the valves on the front. It is worth mentioning that not one of the truely great euphonium players has insisted on having the valves on the front!
