I'm not sure that a double will give you want you want if what you're after is a difference in timbre (big 822 CC and 621 F sounds in the same horn). After all, the same bell and large branches are in use no matter what side of the horn you're playing in. The CC side simply uses a different set of tubing to do its job.

In this respect, I find myself agreeing in principle with Joe S. A 6-valve F tuba is pretty close in operation to a double F/CC; the big difference, it seems is that instead of running the two sections in parallel, they're placed in series.

Another of my execrable views at any rate.
