If you search te archives there is plenty on this subject. The general concensus is that it is feasible. On a tuba the tubing that you cut is usually the straight tubing. On a sousaphone you would have cut curved tubing, plus you'd have to change its curvature to get it back in a full circle. What you'd probably be easier is to lengthen an Eb sousaphone.
