Some orchestral tubists that use (or used when they were active) BB flat tubas:
Connie Weldon
James Jenkins
Everit Gilmore
Herbert Weckselblat (I know that I got the spelling wrong, my apologies)
and others
Professional tubists that use or used a small CC for solo and quintet work:
Harvey Phillips
Dallenbach (again, my apologies for the spelling)
Some orchestral tubists that use (or used) E flat:
John Fletcher
Jay Bertolet
and others
People listen to the music produced by the musician through an instrument, I have yet to have a conductor, band leader or contractor ask what key tuba I play (and I am not at the musical level of anyone that I listed).
good luck and enjoy your tuba, sounds like you got a good one,
