If you already know the figerings for the BBb tuba, can find a BBb instrument that is within your budget that you truly enjoy playing, then by all means go out and buy a BBb.

If you have searched the archives, then you will have read that BBb tubas are currently 'out of fashion' with most pros in the States with players preferring the CC. However, in Germany the CC instrument is never used, all of the pros play on BBb and F horns. If a BBb is good enough for Walter Hilgers and Heiko Treibener, then they're good enough for me!
