the 'Mighty Midget' is improved with 4 valves which were not fitted in the original tornisters. The original purpose of this type of tuba was to make a portable tuba for military bands in the days before motorised transport, and as such, although so small, it is designed to play like a true tuba and is suitable to play as bass with a brass, wind, or jazz band
