Pryorphone: It is C with 6 valves and is called a "French tuba", and was used a such in French orchestras for years.
Valves 2 and 5 both descended 1 semitone (added 15.7 cm to the air column)
Valve 1 descended 2 semitones (added 32.2 cm to the air column)
Valve 3 descended 4 semitones (added 68.3 cm to the air column)
Valve 4 descended 5 semitones (added 87.9 cm to the air column)
Valve 6 descended 8 semitones (added 154.2 cm to the air column)
Even though this is a step higher than a modern euphonium, it should be considered a tuba. These instruments replaced the C ophicleide, and were the brass bass in Gaulic orchestras until the second half of the 20th century. If I remember my stories correctly, Mel Culbertson was hired for a Paris symphony, and he played a modern CC tuba, instead of the French C. In the spirit of European labor, other French tuba players got miffed at what they considered an affront to their "nationalistic" sound, and went on strike. The symphonies hired replacements (all of whom played modern tubas), and in short order the French C tuba was no longer in use.
