I liken the skill to being multi-lingual. When one goes from English to French, for example, you just end up THINKING in the other language. So it is going from BBb to CC to F to euph for me. I also play bass bone so I don't think of fingerings, then make the conversion from Bb euphonium, I just put the slide (hopefully) in the right place at the right time. The more one switches back and forth, the more natural it becomes.
