The tuba (UK: / ˈtjuːbə /; [1] US: / ˈtuːbə /) is the largest and lowest-pitched musical instrument in the brass family. As with all brass instruments, the sound is produced by lip vibration – a buzz – into a mouthpiece.

Today the Wagner tuba is generally used as an alternate doubling instrument to the horn and played as part of a quartet, comprising a pair of tenor tubas (played by 5th and 6th horns) and a pair of bass tubas (played by 7th and 8th horns).
They were invented by the composer Richard Wagner in order to fill what he considered a gap between the mellow sound of French horns and the more forceful attack of lower brass instruments such as trombones. The two most often-used Wagner tubas are those in Bb and the bass in F.
