A fiberglass tuba is the only reason I started playing. I was in fourth grade, and we couldn't afford to rent a horn, so when I saw the "white" tuba in the corner I asked to play it. I don't remember the manufacturer, but it had 3 piston valves, was in the key of BBb, and had a brass valve section. Actually, I recall that the bell and bell throat were fairly large.
In my opinion, finding one of these pitched in CC would be difficult - I doubt anyone made/makes them.
