Bass and tenor tubas were patented in 1835 and 1838 respectively in Prussia (in the north of the land soon to be Germany). In Latin, tuba just means "trumpet". There are reflections in the flared bell of the tuba, and if you look closely you will see the Portuguese church. It's kind of a diamond shape. The tuba was part of a Portuguese brass band from Montreal, Quebec, and the band was visiting Hull (Gatineau) Quebec to take part in a solemn procession. But, they could sure swing. For trivia buffs, brass is an alloy of copper and tin. Original tuba pic by M Sylvia Chaume, Canada.
