First Tuba

Post by Reilly »

I am currently looking into buying my first tuba. I’m not sure whether to stick with a BB♭ or try out a CC tuba. I wouldn’t mind the challenge of learning new fingerings (in fact, I’d actually enjoy it since I tried some cc tubas). I’d love to hear any suggestions, as I’m split on this. On one hand, I want to try something new and expand my skills; on the other hand, I feel like I should continue progressing on a BB♭.

Unless you know you are going to be a performance major with orchestra, stick with a BBb tuba.
