Yeah, while you are switching you will keep thinking "Why am I doing this?! I was good before!" but as one poster mentioned you won't regret it. Look, you COULD stay on BBb, but to do a full orchestral career on BBb would be damn hard and you would have to be damn good. There is to my knowledge only one BBb player in a MAJOR orchestra in the UNITED STATES and he is from a different generation of players (1960's). If you want to be a pro tuba player your chances are slim anyway, and I don't think anyone will argue that staying on BBb makes them better. You can't deny the statistics.
