- Range: Its range extends from the very low register, capable of sub-octave tones, up to the mid-range for more melodic parts. The instrument can often go down to the bottom C or lower depending on the pitch and size of the tuba.
- Valves: It usually has four to six valves, which help the player achieve different pitches and better intonation.
- Uses: It’s a staple in large ensembles like orchestras and brass bands, often providing support for other brass and woodwind instruments or playing bass lines in symphonic music.
- Playing Style: Due to its size, it requires a good deal of breath control and lung capacity. The sound can be bold, resonant, and full, making it ideal for dramatic, powerful sections of music.
