I've learned F tuba fingerings, Eb tuba fingerings, CC tuba fingerings, and Bb euphonium fingerings, all in the last year. I'm 54. Your son is experiencing frustration, but it is his ego, not his brain, that is having the problem. For a recent concert on my CC tuba, I xeroxed the music and wrote in the fingerings just like a novice...because I didn't want to go into brain freeze and lose myself. So I would encourage you to encourage him to just stick with the CC tuba, do a little emotional growing from learning to deal with frustration and not being top dog (wait til he gets to college, if he wants, to lose the "top dog" thing) and just stick with it.
