CC Tuba fingerings in British Brass Band

Here's the answer and it was in the 2nd post!

Not to be a jerk. .. But you can figure this out with a couple Google searches. It's a basic musical concept for an ed major, you'll be the better for the research and for learning the transposition (s).

What follows reads like the Keystone Cops! If I was new to transposition or clefs it would take me forever to figure out what is good advice and what is nonsense!

Curmudgeon's advice is excellent. When I was much younger I was one of the "pioneers" of playing CC tuba in a brass band here in Australia - and while it was a good idea in that particular band (which was run by symphony players) - I wouldn't recommend it if I was visiting Britain for a while....

Short answer -
Transpose the Written C4 (1 Ledger line below TC Staff) to a Played BBb1 (2 LLs Below Bass Clef Staff). Subtract 2 Flats for Key Signature or Accidentals.
Edit - This works if you're reading the BBb Tuba part on your CC tuba.

Subtract?

Thanks for catching this. The way I've worded it, they should ADD 2 flats in the transposition. It's subtract going the other way. I'm editing my post to correct this error.
