Tubing lengths

Post by Casca Grossa »

Someone had posted all of the tubing lengths for each valve for each key of tuba a while back. I can't seem to find it. Would someone be able to send me a link to that or post it here? Thanks

I'm on my phone but it's available as an excel file on Art Hovey's site. Search Art Hovey tuba logic.
