No normally they are made out of steel or silver
Jewellery, pipes, screws, instruments: brass bands. tubas, flutes, ectect.
Yes, they can be made from tin, brass or silver. The quality increases in that order.
Tubas are made of metal, frequently brass, hence the name "brasswind" (trumpets, trombones, tubas, etc). This is as opposed to "woodwind" (like flutes and clarinets)
Most woodwinds were originally made from wood (hence the name), such as flutes, clarinets and oboe. Now, the main part of woodwinds that are actually wood is the reed. Saxophones are most often made out of brass, clarinets out of plastic, and concert flutes out of metals. the mouthpieces can be out of plastic and metal. The most common metal in all instrument categories is brass.
Flutes may be made of sterling silver, although most are made of brass and plated with either silver or nickel-silver. Flutes can also be made of wood, but that is no longer common. Saxophones and metal clarinets have also been made of brass and plated in silver. This was the most common finish in the early years of the saxophone (into the 1920's and 30's) before better lacquers were developed.
Irish flutes can be made out of many different materials. Most of the Irish flutes are made of materials such as wood or bamboo, but can also be made from PVC.
Flutes are normally made out of metal, but some that are used in Renaissance groups may be made of wood. The majority of metal flutes are made of silver, or gold-coated copper. The best-sounding flutes are made out of solid gold. The denser the metal, the better the sound it makes. Flutes can actually be made of anything..in the old times ppl used to make flutes aout of bamboo, wood, carved out animal holes or hollowed out sticks. modern flutes are usually made of steel, or silver ..there are very expensive flutes that are actually made up of gold.
Brass instruments are typically made of metal and produce sound through the vibration of the player's lips, while woodwind instruments are usually made of wood or metal and produce sound through the vibration of a reed or the player's breath. Brass instruments include trumpets and trombones, while woodwind instruments include flutes and clarinets.
Since the beginning of time flutes have been made with courage and fortitude.
Inca's made trumpets and bells out of materials like brass and stone and others like the pototo (a type of conch horn) and shaker bracelets (dried llamas toenails)
an Egyptian flute is made out of bamboo and wood
The sound is produced by blowing air against a hard surface. For example, clarinets, saxophones, oboes, and bassoons have reeds, typically made of wood, which vibrate and produce sound. Flutes and piccolos produce sound when air is blown across an edge. Woodwinds are different from brass instruments (such as trumpets, trombones, and tubas) which rely on the vibrations of a player's lips to produce sound. The definition has almost nothing to do with the materials "wood" or "brass," because some woodwinds are made of brass (like a saxophone) and some brass instruments are wooden (like an alphorn).
