Never played them!
Considered to be extremely well made. And to be almost unpayable.
2 configurations:
a: 5th valve a long whole step1 (comparable to the common layout of 5 valve tubas, which would mean low B natural to be the lowest note).
B: 5th valve a fifth. I havent calculate the possibilities of that, but that should give an even lower lowest note.
