So Matt, when manufacturers use similar metals for slides
and the ferrules they "slide" in, isn't it common to have tightness
or even a wringing-in of the metal? Why would they do this?
I should think that brass inside nickel would work better,
as these dissimilar metals almost always seem to cooperate
more with each other on tubas I've played.
