If you uncoil all of a regular french horn's tubing, in total it would be 12 feet long!
12 to 13 feet of metal tubing
The Bb Trumpet, NOT the French Horn, has 9 ft. French horns have 12-18 feet of tubing.
There are two factors. One is that the length of the tubing required for the horn would, if straightened out, make a very long and unwieldy horn (you know that horn they use in the Ricola commercials?), so they curl it up instead. The other is just to give it a decorative shape.
The instrument with very long tubing is the tuba. Tubas typically have a coiled design that allows for a lengthy pathway for the air to travel, contributing to their deep and rich sound. The extensive tubing is what gives the tuba its low pitch, making it an essential part of brass ensembles and orchestras.
If you mean if all of the tubing were uncoiled it would be between 12 and 13 feet long.

For a double horn, the F side is 12 feet long, and the B flat side is 9 feet long. On a single horn, it will only be in one of these keys. Each valve lowers the pitch by adding extra length: the first valve by 2 semitones the second valve by 1 semitone and the third valve by 3 semitones
A massive horn 10 meters long
The tubing on a baritone horn typically measures between 9 to 10 feet in length when fully extended. This length can vary slightly depending on the specific model and design of the instrument. The baritone's tubing is coiled to make it more compact and manageable for playing.
as long as you can, but eventually your lips will become very numb.
A narwhal's tusk, which is actually a long, spiral-shaped tooth, can grow to be about 9 feet (2.7 meters) long.
