A friend of mine just purchased a new Yamaha YBB-621 3/4 Tuba which has a 4 piston in-line valve configuration (valves front, not top). He is an older gent, so not sure if that is the reason, but he claims the springs are very stiff and hard for him to manipulate. Our band director just visited with him, and he came to the same conclusion, however, he too, is an older gent.
Does anyone know if the springs on this tuba are indeed stiff? If so, do you know of any alternative springs that are less stiff? I looked on the Yamaha parts website, and they only seemed to offer the original springs as replacements.
