Beautiful. What’s the instrument at the beginning?

This is amazing Josh, your music was a large part of my childhood and I'm thankful for that. I've been waiting to hear those saxophones uncompressed for so long, it was definitely worth the wait! By the way, what is the instrument that plays here in the background? It sounds like a tuba to me.
