The tuba (UK /ËtjuËbÉ/ or US /ËtuËbÉ/ ; [ËtuËba]) is the largest and lowest-pitched musical instrument in the brass family. Sound is produced by vibrating or buzzing the lips into a large cupped mouthpiece. It first appeared in the mid 19th-century, making it one of the newer instruments in the modern orchestra and concert band.
Brass instruments do not get their name from being constructed of brass, but rather how the sound is produced. In these instruments, sound is forced through brass fixtures to create a unique sound. Tubas, trumpets, horns, and trombones are examples of brass instruments. It is important to note that saxophones are not, despite the fact that they are often made from brass, as they produce sound from a reed.
