They started off trumpet players who switched to tuba to Eb tuba sometimes. But I think in your fiance's case, being a small flute player who's doing tuba just for fun, I think it's ok. But usually you shouldn't live your life on the smaller tuba and should work on the bass tuba (CC/BBb). But I don't understand because it takes more air to play the flute, she shouldn't have problem with air on the BBb. Maybe let her try a better quality BBb or a CC tuba.
