I was in Hamburg, germany in 1962 and came across a double tuba in F and Bb in a small brass shop there. Unlike a French horn which uses either one set of valve tubing or the other, this beast put the two sets in series when in Bb, making it very stuffy to play. I returned to the shop a week later with some cash burning a hole in my pocket (it was only about $200) but it had already been sold.
For another double tuba story check out Fred Young's website. It used to be at the URL linked below, but it's not working tonight. Are you there, Fred?
