Hmm,
One way would be to get an extended main tuning slide to replace the original (you know the kind, with the extra length of tubing needed to drop the pitch a whole step). That _might_ introduce a host of response problems, even on the open fingering.

Or, you could "turn" the 2-step 5th, pull the slides, and play it as an AA or AAb tuba... :)

Unless there's a way to put a shorter tube on that 5th, I don't think it would work.

Seeya,
Leland
