The tuba will no more fade away than any other modern orchestral instrument. It is just one of myriad values that add to the pure, clear entertainment of a symphony or wind band. The only way I see it going away (as well as all other string/wind/percussion instruments) is if people will pay to hear some one or a group playing only keyboards to imitate the etherel qualities of a fine orchestra.
