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 tuba has been used in jazz since the genre's inception. In the earliest years, bands often used a tuba for outdoor playing and a double bass for indoor performances. In this context, the tuba was sometimes called brass bass, as opposed to the double bass (string bass).
