The Wagner tuba is a narrow-bore tuba with a French-horn mouthpiece. Tubas appeared first in Berlin in the 1820s, soon after the invention of the valve. They were soon accepted into the band and orchestra, displacing the serpent, ophicleide, and other such instruments of poorer tone quality and intonation.
Mission San Francisco de Asis was established in 1776 when Juan Bautista de Anza led a group of people from Tubac, Mexico for the purpose of establishing a permanent settlement in San Francisco. The first mass, which dedicated the mission site, was celebrated on 29 June 1776.
