Actually a good, pro quality flute, oboe, or even sax can cost as much as a top of the line tuba. The entry point is certainly lower for these, but if you want to be a pro it's not that different in price. Then of course there are strings where an instrument good enough for a professional will generally cost multiples of the cost of the most expensive tuba.
