From The Tuba Family, second ed., p 44-45, the *approximate* open bugle lengths are:
Fluegel horn -- 1320mm = 51.97 in = 4.33 ft.
Eb horn -- 1945mm = 76.57 in = 6.38 ft.
Baritone -- 2640mm = 103.94 in = 8.66 ft.
Euph -- same as baritone
F tuba -- 3550mm = 139.76 in = 11.65 ft.
Eb tuba -- 3955mm = 155.71 in = 12.98 ft.
CC tuba -- 4800mm = 188.98 in = 15.75 ft.
BBb tuba -- 5355mm = 210.83 in = 17.57 ft.
(I did not double check my conversion calculations -- use at your own risk).
