Back when I owned one of these rotor 2155's with a F-L-A-T third partial, I also owned a 6/4 Holton with the same funky deal.
Personally, I got tired of all of the crow's foot fingerings on stuff that my 35-year-old (or so, at the time) hands had already learned with simpler in-tune tuba fingerings...
...and since my F tuba play(ed)(s) so dang well in tune, that problem (on BOTH of those CC's that I happened to own at the same time) caused me to begin to view CC tubas as "contrabass appliances" rather than musical instruments...and I did NOT WANT to view CC tuba playing with that horribly negative slant, so I swore off owning any more "GORGEOUS-SOUNDING" CC's with stinko scales.
asked and answered, at least here.
