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.
