Re: the advantages to this theoretical precision build:

On his former 4 valves Rudy 5/4, my colleague did that. A repairman linked the first and third slides, so that when he was moving the first, the third was moving as well. From what I remember, the action was pretty smooth.

Re: Don't play sharp.

I find that trying to match (reach, control) a pitch while playing tuba (or other low brass instruments) often leads to playing too sharp. I am not sure why, maybe something with the fact that lots of overtones in our sounds makes it difficult for our ears to stick to something trustful.
