08/04/2006 | "Brrlaattt!!" A whale of a 'horn,' by any other name - also, an 'Aerophone.'
It is "a valved brass instrument with a wide conical bore, flared bell, and cup-shaped mouthpiece. It is characterized by its large size and deep sound." (from: 'Musical Instruments of the World, Bantam Books')
There are three sizes to modern orchestral tubas: 'contrabass'; 'bass'; and 'F bass'.
Musical pieces in the classical repertoire that highlight passages for the tuba: Hector Berlioz' 'Symphonie Fantastique (in the Dies Irae)'; Johannes Brahms' 'Tragic Overture' and Richard Wagner's Funeral March, in 'Gotterdammerung' from the Ring of the Nibelungen.

05/08/2003 | necessity in band, people who dont like it obviously have only heard bad tuba players, when you hear what the tuba can do on vaughn-williams tuba concerto, come back and rate it again. It takes a lot of skill and presicion to be accurate and gracefull on such a cumbersome instrument. For all its negatives, there are so many more positives.

04/14/2003 | A former cute female Tuba player. I had Tuba solos my senior year in high school (yes, Tuba songs do exist) and I loved it! Unfortunately, tubas usually are relegated to bomp, bomp bompa bomp in the back of the band. All the guys I played Tuba with were really weird D&D geeks and they drove me crazy.

11/25/2002 | A big cumbersome instrument that, I don't think, is really noticeable or needed in the music world. Plus, you never heard of Steve the tuba player getting all of the hot chicks in high school.
