This could be an expensive project. The winning bidder will need to find inner and outer tubes for both the 20j and 20k sizes in addition to crooks of the correct diamètre. I'm not an expert with Conn tubing but could imagine just for those parts alone could be around 300 dollars not to mention the labour of cutting, bending and fitting the parts into a tuba.

Obviously, the J sizes are no longer available...and what is to be done with one valve casing having knuckles oriented for a top-action tuba...??[/quote]
A lot of right angle bits to make it straight!
With a lot of right angle bits it will hard for it not to look noodly like mac & cheese. The real challenge will be having a constant bore in the valve circuits.

You can get K sized tubing from Allied. I think it comes in 3 foot lengths.
You can have J sized tubing made from metal sellers or you can cannibalize old parts that might be lying about...
