A couple summers back, one of the tuba coaches at a Brass Chamber Music Workshop I try to attend annually had a very nice Holton, BBflat. His particular horn is highly-regarded around the Chicago scene, is used regularly when he plays/subs for various orchestras worldwide, and (as I recall) was originally used by the long-time tubist in the CSO when performing works which he felt better laid on BBflat. So to answer your question, there are some who use these older BBflat Holtons professionally. The reason why there are not more people using them? Mainly because there were very few of them built in the 20 or so years of production of this specific type/model/configuration, probably fewer than 75.
