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.
