The CC Getzen my freshman high school son is getting comes with a conversion tube to Bb. We don't have the tube yet as Brasswind couldn't find it at first, but they have located it and will give it to us when we go back up there in a couple of weeks.

After a couple of frustrating "learning curve" days in class with the Getzen (hard to go from feeling like "top dog" to a rookie again I think) my son is looking forward to getting the tube so he can play in Bb at times. I am thinking this will only serve as a "crutch" and significantly delay his feeling comfortable in CC. I am also concerned the sound will not be as good, which I guess we won't know unitl we have the tube.

While I want to get the conversion tube (afterall, we are paying for it), I am concerned how to handle this. Comments?
