When was the Tuba invented? Wilhelm Wieprecht and Carl Moritz in Prussia designed and patented the tuba as a âbasstubaâ in F1 on 12th September 1835. The tuba is a brass musical instrument of the largest and lowest pitched. When tuba is blown very low sound is produced by it.
The Prussian Army helped make the Tuba popular. Their marching band directors liked the big, bold sound the tuba makes. After the Prussians started using the tuba other countries started making their own tubas. Tubas come in lots of different shapes and names like the Bombardon, Flugelhorn, and Helicon, but now it is most commonly called the Tuba. Tubas were originally designed to be played while marching instead of while sitting. To begin with the player held the Tuba on his shoulder.
