Your posting is touching on the matter of the proportionality in which measures one should apply in the bettering of a given instrument.

In my opinion one shall be very happy for and confident in that instrument before buying a valve section for it, that is more expensive than the original instrument.

In my opinion Frieder found a good compromise in his reworking of the Russian tubas. It might be possible to find the workshop doing this for Frieder and to have them carrying out their process on ones instrument.

I have an older bass trombone, that would benefit from the installation of Hagmann valves. But my sense of proportionality prevents me from having that process carried out.
