If one had a vintage tuba with a big bell, I think it would be a crime to chop it up like that. I think there must be quite a few horns out there that started life as great BBb's that are now mediocre CC's. Who's to say that in 50 years, the CC tuba won't be out of fashion? Imagine all those future players bemoaning the fact that so many good BBb horns were ruined to save a few thousand dollars?
