Them's fightin' words! Inferior indeed! A BBb tuba has the sound that most people would associate with a tuba, full and deep and noble! It is quite possible to play the same piece on a CC and a BBb and blindfolded you wouldn't know the difference. An F tuba does have a different tonal quality, not better, just different. In Europe most of the orchestral tubists still play BBb horns. It is only in the US where BBbs have become an anathma to professionals.
