I guess people like Roger Bobo, Jim Self, and Tommy Johnson would have known, but they're not around to ask.

There is a guy with the first name Steve whose last name I can't remember at the moment. He had some music stores in California that stocked tubas. https://hornguys.com/
Maybe he'd know or know somebody who might know?

Edit: Steve Ferguson. He's on FB if not here.
