Winton,
I think your statement of "CC tubas tend to be more out of tune" is off target...
Some of the craziest intonation I've ever heard comes from the cheap little 3/4 BBb's prevalent in today's high school bandrooms. It's almost impossible to play one of those things in tune because you can't adjust pitch with anything but your chops...
The difference in alot of "out of tune" CC tubas and those substandard BBb's is the placement of slides so that they are moveable by your left hand.

ALL tubas are out of tune... It's just that the better ones provide easy ways to fix those problems.
