I don't think there's a single custom maker in the US that can build a tuba from "scratch"; that is, given a pile of brass sheet and tube stock, spin the bell, form the branches and machine the valve sets. All of the "custom makers" that I've heard of in the US cobble their horns together from existing parts that were part of another instrument or destined to become part of one.
