Your "tough love" answer may in fact be what's required - but HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT?
Why would you assume that this student isn't already putting in 5 hours a day on the F tuba? And why would you assume that his observations about his M-W F tuba have anything to do with wheather he is a "master" or "student" of the CC or BBb tuba? This person has gotten up the guts to bear his soul to the entire tuba world. Your suggestion that he spend less time on the computer seems irrelevent in light of the fact that it may have taken him 15 minutes max. to type it out. After all, isn't that someone goes to a teacher for - to ask questions, and receive input? If you don't think he should abandon the F tuba, then say so and state your reasons why! That was the original question. It was not an invitation for a stern lecture about practicing - leave that to his teacher.
