“I played the tuba in high school. I thought, what can I play that has the most effect? What can I play to get people to laugh?” Patti LuPone, American Actress & Singer

The tuba comes in various different designs. The most common tubas are in Eb or F, and contrabass tubas are normally in C or Bb. The helicon, usually tuned in Eb, is a unique version of the tuba, that the musician can hang over their shoulder.
The helicon is the predecessor of the sousaphone, whose substantially larger bell is detachable and does not point sideways, as with the helicon, but forwards above the player’s head. Marching tubas are also played with the bell facing forward, with the instrument resting on the player’s right shoulder.
