That's great as long as you never plan on playing below a Bb.
I had a 3 valve compensating Euph for years. Really liked it, but they are limiting if you don't get to choose which octave you play in
I wish Sousaphones were made with that system. Makes so much more sense than a 4 valve sousa

Here is my friend Zach on his 3-valved Knopf F tuba.
I'm always amazed at what he can do with just those 3 valves.

I studied with Zach many years ago.
