Floor stand

A brass tenor horn rests on a black stand, held by a silver arm attached to the valve block by a black block.

The instrument can be placed on a floor stand which allows it to be played without using a second hand to support it.

Left-handed playing

euphonium

If the left-hand is required to operate the valves then the lead pipe can be moved around the other side of the instrument. This results in a permanent change to the instrument.

Fourth valve extension

A close up of the silver tubing of a tuba. There is a black button pressing against the fourth valve, attached to a lever that ends near the other three valves.

When playing a tuba with a fourth valve this extension enables the little finger to play the fourth valve, so that all four valves can be played with one hand. This design was an OHMI Competition winner in 2025 by Clennell Custom Brass Ltd. Alternatively, use a model with four valves in a line.
