The tubas are relatively the modern additions to the brass instruments. The tubas are bigger in size than most of the other brass instruments and they also have the lowest pitch amongst all of the brass instruments. While playing the tuba, the player holds it in a vertical position. The sound in tubas is produced in the same way as it is done in other brass instrument that is by vibrating lips into the mouthpiece of the tubas. Notes are produced by the varying lip tension and changing the fingers on the valves of the tubas. The popular tubas is the baritone tuba also called as Euphonium that consists of three to four valves and are mostly used in marching bands or concerts. In the symphony orchestra, one can find the vertical tubas that have valves ranging from three to five. The patent of the tubas is with Friedrich Wilhelm Wieprecht and Johann Gottfried Moritz which was registered in 1835. The most popular use of the tubas was made in Jazz which was done since the inception of the genre.
