The tubing of a tuba typically measures around 15 to 18 feet in length, depending on the specific model and key of the instrument. This extensive tubing allows the tuba to produce deep, resonant tones. The length of the tubing is coiled to make the instrument more compact and manageable for players.

So, next time you hear that tuba rumbling, just remember it's all about physics and some serious lip action.
