The only reason, I can think of, as to why it would be an improvement to switch to a 7B, is that perhaps she is using a larger mouthpiece than the 7B and switching to a smaller piece would help her control her tone and pitch more easily. I do not know what kind of mouthpiece she is using now hpowever so I can not say if that is true. I usually start my elementary tuba students on the Conn Helleberg 7B because it is a fairly small piece, but it is not necassarily an exclusive mouthpiece just for beginners. Other small mouthpieces such as a Bach 25 or 30 or the Shilke 62(might be wrong model number?) would work just as well.
