... more reliable instrument (Berlioz went through replacing ophicleide with tuba in all of his scores after being excited by one in a performance). It's tone is far more mellow than the trombone, less raucous and as such can lack some of the penetration of trumpets and trombones but when the brass section is pounding away you can literally feel the tuba line, vibrating the ground beneath your feet.
