Your Definition
the last major instrument to be introduced to the modern symphony orchestra; a refinement of all others that preceded it, having a conical bore, large cup mouthpiece, and low, unpiercing mellow sound, unless some of the guys from the tuba section of the [marching band] at the Univesity of [Southern California] have a blow on one (or 16). May be upright, with a recording bell (this is a "recording bass," not a "recording tuba"--it replaced string basses on early recordings), helicon, sousaphone, or a silly marching version. I have played them all! (from the latin tuba, meaning trumpet) The proper name for a tuba player is "tubist," which is a shortened form of "tubaist," which is considered archaic. (Ask your local [professional] tuba player for details.)
