Answer 1

TUBA [Lat.,=trumpet], valved brass wind musical instrument of wide conical bore. The term tuba is applied rather loosely to any low-pitched brass instrument other than the trombone; such instruments vary in size, and are known by various names. The contrabass tuba, which is most common, plays in the same range as the double bass. The helicon and sousaphone are contrabass tubas used in marching bands; they coil around the player and rest on the left shoulder. The baritone and euphonium are small tubas, mainly band instruments, pitched the same as the trombone. Wagner secured the tuba's place in the orchestra in the mid-19th cent. He called for three differently pitched instruments for his Ring cycle. The Wagner tuba is a narrow-bore tuba with a French-horn mouthpiece. Tubas appeared first in Berlin in the 1820s, soon after the invention of the valve. They were soon accepted into the band and orchestra, displacing the serpent, ophicleide, and other such instruments of poorer tone quality and intonation.

Answer 2

As the source says, it was developed in the 19th century from previous large instruments that did not have valves.
If you can stumble past the scanning errors, the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica has a lot of detailed info on the development of instruments. (well, it looks like somebody cleaned much of it up - second source.)

Answer 3

When Was The Tuba Invented

Answer 4

It was invented in the 14th century by two men. Phillip C Tuchinza and Joseph Basron. They invented a device to scare birds away from their crops and inadvertantly realized they could change the pitch by changing the amount of air flowing through it. After a commercialization of their instrument, they were asked to give it a name. The two men combined the first two letter of their last names to come up with Tu and Ba.

Answer 5

I just know that a tuba can come in different sizes and that one design was even called the Sousaphone.

I would bet it was a European adaptation of another lower brass instrument.
