Mark, I own a Getzen CC, MW F, BBb Helicon and an old Eb sousie. I associate a given set of fingerings to a specific tuba. It's like playing clarinet, sax and flute - the fingerings are all different, but they are on different instruments.

I have a few middle school tuba students, and I find it very hard to play with them on my Getzen, while watching their fingering on BBb to see if it is right. I found myself using BBb fingerings on the wrong horn.

Good luck,
