Since the tuba was first introduced in the early 1800s, the world's greatest composers have been incorporating it into their musical pieces. By far the biggest instrument in the brass family, it also just happens to produce the lowest pitch, and today it can be found in symphony orchestras, military bands and even jazz ensembles. As you've probably suspected, all of today's top brass instrument brands specialize in their own tuba models, and in this section you'll find many of the most recognizable names on the market such as Cerveny, Miraphone, Kanstul and Amati. Before you start browsing, you'll definitely need to consider a few factors. For example, tubas are available in the key of Bb, C, F and Eb - the most common being Bb and C. Experience level is another thing to think about, and 3-valve tubas are definitely the best choice for beginners.
