So, the needs of those few outweigh the needs of the majority? Are these FEW(as you put it) music majors somehow more important than the rest of the common-folk who play tuba in this college? The only thing in your proposed situation that would be holding this music major back would be the fact that he/she doesn't own his own tuba. Your logic is flawed. The college not owning a CC tuba does not equal a student being denied access to a CC tuba. Furthermore, lack of access to a CC tuba does not equal the student being held back.
There's nothing that can be played on a CC tuba that can't be played just as well(or better) on a BBb. Same opposite holds true, as well. If a student absolutely must play a CC tuba, than they will find a way. I can't think of any situation where a CC tuba would be imperative, though.
