    I learned that at tuba includes all of these things:
    ■Made of brass and sometimes silver or gold lacquer

    ■Buzzing the mouthpiece creates a sound that is amplified and coloured by the instrument

    ■Has 3 to 5 valves. Fingering the valves makes different notes

    ■Biggest and lowest sounding member of the Brass family

    ■Has a mute that can be placed in the bell to soften the sound
