Not exactly to scale and some tubes need fitting together. Started in Hexagon (see pic for wire) and display in Carrara for some smoothing. Needs more work and maybe some etching and scrolling.

How did you model all the curved tubes? Bend? Sweep?

Easy as pie in Hexon - line tool to make the profile curve , followed by the add thickness tool.

I waited until Carrara to connect them and add smoothing as smoothing Carrara sometimes behaves better than hexagon smoothing.

Looking great, like it. What's the idea for the final scene?

I envisioned a band leader leading a 'march' demonstrating what parts a baritone plays in a marching band.

That would be an impressive scene James! You should keep working on this after the challenge and do that.

Hexagon's lines and thickness tools, of course! That's how I mine too. Does Blender have anything like that?
