Compactness may not be the only reason for the design compromises. If one were to built a contrabass tuba to scale with a fluegel horn, would the result even be playable by a normal human?

This sort of halfway approach seems to pervade the contrabass world. String basses aren't built to scale (and it's a good thing too) either.
