Re: Buffet 1193 bass E/B twelfth

Converting the 1193 bass to a Tosca register mech. would involve moving the existing vent on the body, adding another vent for the throat Bb and adding the mechanism. That would tune up your middle B and C. If your low E is flat, that would be more difficult to fix as I believe the Tosca bass has had the low Eb tone hole moved further up the body to tune up the E.
At least that is what I observed when comparing an 1195 to my 1193 several months ago. I cannot recall any issues in the altissimo range on the Tosca- it felt pretty great!
