Water keys in ... "odd" places

[Mary Ann]

Yeah an old post but I'm reminded to get the Hagen slides to the guy who can put the two Pollard keys on the 3rd and 1st slides so I can empty them when it's on the bell, me being physically unable to do any spinning on this tuba. If I play it long enough in my cold house, I need those water keys. Fortunately I can just take the slides and the Pollard keys to the guy and show him the orientation, and he will do a good job. He stopped working on tubas because of a back problem, but slides, he will still do.
