I looked on Art Hovey's website, but I couldn't find what I was looking for
18"

Somewhere around here there is a post, possibly by Dan S., that lays out these lengths for every pitch of tuba. I copied the substance of it into another file on my computer and saved it. I looked this one up from there. But if you search around you can probably find that whole post. Or I guess I could copy it back into another post, but that seems like cluttering things up.
