When will Willson and Hirsbrunner come out with a five front-valve non-compensating euph?
The only compensating tubas are those aimed at the British Brass Band market; all top-end
tubas are five valve or six valve non-compensating instruments. Why? Free-blowing, less kinks in the tubing, simpler to build, more alternate fingerings available.
