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.
The sousaphone (US: / Ë s uË z É f oÊ n /) is a brass instrument in the same family as the more widely known tuba. Created around 1893 by J.W. Pepper at the direction of American bandleader John Philip Sousa (whom the instrument was then named after), it was designed to be easier to play than the concert tuba while standing or marching, as well as to carry the sound of the instrument above the heads of the band.
