the 5th does the same on the BBb as it does on the CC. Allows you to play in the pedal range in tune. The CC's are a little quicker responding in the pedal range more than a BBb but the sound in the pedals on a BBb is great and I play in it all the time.
The 5th also adds some body to the sound because of bracing, weight and alot of factors.

I am the one who sold the tuba and it was a truly good one. It was the 1st 3302 5 valve VMI brought to the US.

He will love this tuba.
