Jeff,
To cut a sousaphone from BBb to CC, you would in effect almost have to completely re-manufacture the horn, which would be prohibitively expensive. There are two ways to have a CC sousaphone; a) buy a Mirafone CC sousaphone b) buy a good Eb sousaphone and have a longer set of slides made. I'm currently in the process of doing this to a large-bore Conn Eb sousaphone. When done, I plan to sell the horn, so anyone interested may contact me.
