If the purpose is to get some music that 3 players could join around for their own joy, without any ambitions of public performance, then there are lots of baroque music for flute and basso continuo.

Most modern editions are including parts for harpsichord and viola da gamba/cello, which can be read by the pianist and the tubist.

Depending on the instrument chosen, euph through BBb tuba, the part can be read as is or be played an octave down.

Purist will frown, but the spirit of the period was very much to have music played by the available musicians.

And the tuba player will have a lot to learn from the need to phrase and articulate very lightly.
