Tuba

The tuba is a large brass musical instrument known for its deep, rich sound. It plays the lowest notes in an orchestra or band, providing the foundational bass line. The player creates sound by buzzing their lips into a mouthpiece, which produces vibrations that travel through long metal tubes, and the pitch is controlled by pressing valves to change the tube’s length. The tuba’s size and resonant quality give it a powerful, grounding presence, making it essential for adding depth and fullness to musical ensembles.
