Here's the deal, when I did the switch from my BBb to CC it was a permanent. It took about a year of only playing the C but it finally came naturally. I can still go back to playing BBb if it's necessary but I don't because C's are much better than BBb tubas. The easier swich is actually between C and F. I've been playin F for about 7 months and it was no where near as hard to do that switch. How I manage is there is a definite sound and feel difference as well as size of the horn. In a way I made it like they are 2 different instruments instead of 2 different tubas. It also helped to drop playing C over the summer. Now I'm fully proficient and just spend practice time on both.
Give it a try
