As a 4 valve tuba, you'll probably want to move that 1st valve slide. And that doesn't look very easy to access...

That's the one... and it's awkward with the 3rd and 4th slides and the leadpipe up there, too.

Depending on what the exact intonation tendencies/needs are, perhaps a LH kicker could be installed... but by that point, you're in over $5k for this tuba. So you'd better really want it.

On the 32 I thought 1st was easy enough to reach. Noting that there was a ring on the top crook but 5th was also in the same area.
