Tubas are found in various pitches, most commonly in F, E♭, CC, or BB♭ in "brass band" pitching.
Tubas are also used in wind and concert bands and in British style brass bands in the latter instance both E ♭ and BB ♭ tubas are used and are normally referred to as basses. Various concerti have been written for the tuba by numerous notable composers, including w:Ralph Vaughan Williams, w:Edward Gregson, w:John Williams, and w:Bruce Broughton. The tuba is the largest of the low-brass instruments and is one of the most recent additions to the modern symphony orchestra, first appearing in the mid-19th century, when it largely replaced the w:ophicleide.Īn orchestra usually has a single tuba (though having 2 or 3 is not uncommon), serving as the bass of the brass section, though its versatility means it can double as reinforcement for the strings and woodwinds, or increasingly as a solo instrument.
