The Big Blow
25th February 1957: An American who believed in gimmicks brought his band to the UK in 1907. Amongst the instruments recently found from that trip was this sub-contra bass tuba. The pipework is over 34 feet long. Original Publication: Picture Post - 8838 - Outsize Tuba - pub. 1957 (Photo by Frank Pocklington/Picture Post/Getty Images)

That looks like the tuba that Paxman (London horn maker) built for Gerard Hoffnung's first Hoffnung Festival of Music in the mid-1950s.
Any time at all is tuba time. Watch for the signs.
