At Dillon Music, we have a set of BBb slides to fit a MW 2155 CC tuba. Every slide is extended including the 5th. The main slide is a double loop setup that hugs the bottom bow on the bell side. Since the 2145, 2155, and 2165 all use the same valve set, we would only need to get main and 5th slides for the 2145 and 2165's to have a set for any of the 3 tubas. The 2155 played very well in BBb. I agree that it would make a perfect horn for a University to own. Incoming Freshmen can start out in BBb and then switch over to CC with the same horn. Matt
