The tuba is the largest instrument in the brass family and also has the lowest pitch. The tuba, unlike most other brass instruments is held vertically when it is played. Sound is produced when the musician vibrates his or her lips into a cup shaped valves. The tuba has three or five valves and is generally larger than the euphonium. It plays a crucial role in the band, as the bottom supporting sound.
