Shiny Tuba Reflections Brass Band Case-Mate iPhone Case

A beautiful shiny brass tuba, the largest of the brass family, with the lowest pitch. This is a tenor tuba perfect for a marching band. The tuba is straight & the band is slanted. Great design for musicians, music lovers, anyone into big band, swing music, jazz, oktoberfest music, marching bands & brass instruments. In marching bands in the UK, the tuba player is called the bass player. If in an orchestra, the person is a tuba player. In the United States, he or she is a tubist or tubaist. The word tuba is actually Latin for "trumpet". Patents for the bass and tenor tubas came from Germany (then Prussia), with the bass developed in 1835 and the tenor three years later. Tubas are generally made of brass, a combo of tin and copper, creating a warm soft sheen when polished. Cool shiny tuba photo by Sylvia Chaume, Canada. Visit me on Twitter @Sylvia_FineArt.
