brass Instrument

Brass instruments, as their name suggests, are usually made of brass metal. Although these instruments were made of copper in the past and today they are made of brass, this does not mean that all instruments of this category are exclusively made of metal or brass. These instruments have a long tube that twists into different shapes to make it easier for the musician to hold the instrument, and at the end they widen in the shape of a bell. These instruments have a strong and voluminous sound and are relatively large. Sound is produced by blowing and vibrating the musician’s lips. The driving force of sound production in all wind instruments is air and human breath. The pitch of the sound in wind instruments depends on the shortness or length of the pipe, as well as its cross-section diameter and air pressure. Typical brass instruments in a Western orchestra are the trumpet, trombone, French horn, and tuba.
