Here's the original layout. The client was having issues getting over the top of the first branch to reach the first slide. The other issue was a stuffy low end with the 5th valve. The end result was a 90 degree rotation of the 5th valve with a new open circuit. Also the leadpipe was re-bent and made removable lifting it off the bell, to a more open position to enter the top knuckle.

The York has left the building! Here's some photos of a recently completed job for Cameron Brook with the Western Australia symphony. This was a big project, as it started out as a 3 valve upright and left as a 4 valve front action with a removable 5th.
