Phil,
	Thanks for the reply, now I am not an instrument technition, but
the compensating tubing on baritones, euphs, tubas etc comes into play when
certain combinations of valves are pressed down. it doesn't just come into
play with the 4th valve. 

Having said that, there is some truth in what you say, (ie. that when you
put all 3 valves down for a low note the compensation will be the same as
when you put all 3 down for an upper note ) but that said, due to harmonics
etc. and no doubt a little sensible compromising on the part of instrument
manufacturers, this rarely has a major effect. (for example how often do
you need all three valves compressed in the higher register ?).

Does this make sense ?

Steven
