See the later post about Charlie Krause's experience.  But also note the effect of 1/2 stopping and 1/3 stopping a string on a bass viol or any stringed instrument.  And gun smiths also tune rifle barrels in a similar fashion.  Research in these areas may yield
some benefits to you.  You are dealing with the general physics of sound, not the specific physics of a tuba's sound.  That is simply an application.
