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.

An euphonium is overall a small tuba...but there are other differences too! -an euphonium has four valves while a tuba can have three of them. -tuba's can be close to 50 pounds! while an euphonium is lighter. -though both a tuba and an euphonium are bass instruments, tuba are the main bass that can most likely go lower than a euphonium
