Unfortunately I did my work on trumpets, flugelhorns, trombones and alphorns. I never could get any reliable tuba dimensions. The bore at all stations along the instruments influences the intonation. It is very important at antinodes. Adjustments at antinodes can make a great difference. There is a link in Austria that will give you a computer program to make your own calculations. You can change any dimensions you wish. If the link doesn't work search the internet for BIAS and Austria.
