I am a high school senior planning on majoring in music education next year and I just bought my first tuba. It is a CC Mirafone, and I really love the sound but there is one problem... I learned on a BBb Yamaha. I'm in the process of learning new fingerings so I can actually play some music in the right key, but I'm still puzzled why everyone urged me to "make the switch". I think for many high school seniors that plan on playing tuba exclusively in college we run into this problem. Why does the CC have such an advantage for orchestral play? I don't mind learning new fingerings, that's not too difficult, I'm just curious why I should be doing this in the first place. Thanks!!! BTW, if anyone can give advice as to where I could find a good tuba theory or fingering book, please drop me a line!!!
