Tubas a relatively new to the orchestral instrumentation although they have been used widely in Wind Bands and Brass Bands. They provide the bass line of the brass section but they also have a melodic quality when used as a solo instrument.
Their playing register is as with all brass instruments, down to the player. The practical register is F below C (two ledger lines below the bass stave) up to C (one ledger line above the bass stave).
As a solo instrument with piano.
As a soloist with orchestra
and if you get a chance to do something for an ensemble!
