Do you play any musical instruments? I play the trumpet which is a brass instrument commonly used in classical and jazz music.
Yes i play all brass instruments. I was all state in high school for playing the Tuba.
The tuba? that is a great instrument.  It is the largest of all brass instruments.  I would love to try it.
once you start hitting the high notes, it almost like playing the trumpet.
Interesting.  I might give it a go.  My trumpet has valves of the piston type while I know some have the rotary types.  Do tubas also have them?
you have piston and rotary. my favorite is the rotary. they are alot smoother.
Tuba
The tuba (; ) (bass) is the largest and lowest-pitched musical instrument in the brass family. As with all brass instruments, the sound is produced by lip vibration into a large 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 largely replaced the ophicleide. "Tuba" is Latin for 'trumpet'.
In America, a person who plays the tuba is known as a tubaist or tubist.
Brass quintet
A brass quintet is a five-piece musical ensemble composed of brass instruments. As a common ensemble group, the brass quintet has a broad repertoire containing musical genres from madrigals to jazz. 
The instrumentation for a brass quintet typically includes two trumpets or cornets, one French horn, one trombone or euphonium/baritone horn, and one tuba or bass trombone. Musicians in a brass quintet may often play multiple instruments. Trumpet players for instance may double on piccolo trumpets and flugelhorns.
