Instrument that largely replaced the ophicleide (4)

I believe the answer is:

tuba

(Other definitions for tuba that I've seen before include "part of 14 [ORCHESTRA] ?" , "Brass "oompah" instrument" , "Large brass wind instrument" , "Deep brass instrument" , "Big brass instrument" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
