The name Tuba is of Arabic origin and means "blessedness" or "goodness." It is often used to symbolize happiness and prosperity.
The tuba has the lowest tone/pitch. It is actually a pretty cool instrument, I play it in concert band!!
The shape of the tuba has been changed through out the ages. The original shape of the tuba came from an instrument called a ophicleide. It was a form of the tuba except it had no valves. Later on Johann Gottfried Moritz and Wilheim Wieprecht invented a keyed ophicleide. The shape of the tuba was always changing through out the years. Well in 1845 a man by the name of Adolfe Sax had created a family of saxophone horns. He had these ranging from the soprano and the contrabass. The contrabass resembled a lot of what the modern tuba resembles now and that's where the modern shape of the tuba came from. Later on though a band leader by the name of John Philip Sousa got in contact with C. G. Conn and they created a more "audience-friendly" version of the tuba which is now known as the sousaphone.
Tuba-tuba, also known as Jatropha curcas, contains various chemical compounds such as curcin, phorbol esters, linoleic, oleic, and palmitic acids, as well as proteins and carbohydrates. However, it is important to note that tuba-tuba is toxic if ingested and should be handled with caution.
A tuba that is used in a marching band, that is wrapped around a person's body is called a susaphone, other than that it is generally called a tuba.
