I have been using the MAW Valves in my Meinl Weston 5450 for a couple months now and the playability of the instrument is dramatically simplified! Slurring across partials with a valve change is near seamless with these new valves. They have definitely made life on the tuba much easier.

Professor Perantoni was VERY pleased with the work on the F tubas and I'm sure the students will be too. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!

I received the valves and installed them yesterday. Wow, a huge difference. Effortless legato and a much better responding low register. My first overall impression was the tuba seemed to resonate more with the new valves.
