Cliff, While I agree with you IN ESSENCE about the program being YOUR program, why not just let the kid play his new horn, and IF you find that there really IS a problem, spend a couple of minutes to solve those problems. I GUARANTEE, once the student gets into the CC, there will be LESS problems, than WITH him playing the school's POS tuba. What has the teacher got to lose but giving it a go, rather than just quashing the student's enthusiasm? The concept that the CC is an orchestra instrument and the BBb is a band horn is HOGWASH! A tuba is a tuba, and you can play either in either in any circumstance, IF you spend the time to learn the FUNDAMENTALS. While there are some difficulties with BBb's and CC's in the same section, my experience is that the guys (gals) playing the 4 valve BBb's cause more problems than the 5 valve CC's.
