Tuba

The tuba is the powerhouse of the brass family—deep, bold, and essential. As the lowest-pitched brass instrument, it anchors the harmonic foundation of the ensemble, providing rich bass tones that support everything from woodwind melodies to brass fanfares. Tubas come in various keys and sizes (BB♭, CC, Eb, F), and often use rotary or piston valves. Despite their size, they’re surprisingly agile and play a vital role in shaping the ensemble’s overall sound.

Whether braving a frosty morning at ElkFest or bringing the boom indoors, our tuba players deliver golden sound with solid brass energy—rain, shine, or snow.
