tuba player
Lowest brass musician
A tuba player is someone who plays the tuba, the largest and lowest-pitched brass instrument in the orchestra.
The term is straightforward—unlike violinists or pianists, tuba players haven't acquired a standard single-word title, though tubist appears in formal contexts: The tuba player anchored the brass section.
