A '''Tuba''' is a large [[brass instrument]], the lowest in pitch of all commonly employed brass instruments.
It is used to provide a bass-line in [[brass bands]] and some [[traditional jazz]] bands. In classical music, it is used more for its distinctive tone in coloristic effects, particularly from the late 19th century - [[Richard Wagner]] and [[Richard Strauss]], for example, employed it as a part of their rich orchestral pallettes.
The English composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams, wrote a tuba concerto that has been frequently recorded.
