Sure...but a transmission line with constantly changing impedance and plus lots of little bumps that cause reflections...you don't find many of those in an undergraduate EE waves and circuits course (I've taught one.)

The mathematical modelling of a real tuba would be so complicated that I have a feeling that the established manufacturers cut and try methods over many decades, though not perfect, are probably much closer to producing practical results.
