The BBb tuba is 18 feet long, not including the valve tubing.
The CC tuba is 16 feet long, without valves.
Ever heard of an organ with a 64' pedal C or a 32' pedal C? Any C octave would require a tube with a division of that length: 16', 8', 4' etc.
Not sure about the F, but if memory will suffice until facts are given, it's about 12.5 feet.
No clue about the Eb tubas.
Euphonium - 9' like the trombone.
Hope this helps.
