What a can of worms. I didn't say a BB flat that is cut will never sound like a CC. What I said was that if you have a BB flat tuba that SOUNDS like a BB flat, the sound won't likely change to "CC tuba sound" just because the pitch is raised. Give a telephone call to Matt Walters at Dillon's Music, or Bob Rusk or someone who knows more about equipment mods. If you are getting ready to buy a tuba for college, without even knowing you I'd suggest you get a CC Mirafone 186 5-U. If you play test a bunch, and use your teacher's advice, chances are you'll have selected yourself a fine instrument that'll serve you very well for your reasonably-forseeable college future, and for about half of what it sounds like you have budgeted.
