Every piston tuba I've ever owned seemed to be really sensitive to valve alignment. When the alignment was off, the pitch went a little wacky.

If I were in your situation, I would be tempted to try a Mira C4, Schilke 69C4, or a PT-65.
I have a lot better control of my low register on most big tubas with smaller mouthpieces. The smaller throat in of the C4 and Schilke might help the focus of low end.


hope this helps
