Do brass instruments have wood mouthpiece?

Instruments with wood mouthpieces, or mouthpieces containing wooden reeds, are called woodwinds, regardless of the material used to make them - and many are made of brass. "Brass" instruments - trumpets, tubas and other horns - have metal mouthpieces without reeds.


What are the differences between brass and woodwind instruments?

Brass instruments tend to be made out of brass or other metals/alloys. Woodwind instruments have reeds, which makes a different sound to the brass instrument (in simple terms you have to blow raspberries into to make a sound- it is a little more complecated than that, but its hard to explain).


What do brass instruments have valves reeds or slides?

Brass instruments can have valves or a slide, but not reeds. Brass instruments create sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument change the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. Reeds are used in woodwind instruments to vibrate to produce a sound instead of using a mouthpiece like in brass instruments.


What do brass instruments have?

"Cup" style mouthpieces that you purse your lips and blow into, rather than putting your mouth around them.All brass instruments produce sound by sympathetic vibration of air in a tubular resonator in sympathy with the vibration of the player's lips. All brass instruments are also called labrosones, meaning "lip-vibrated instruments".


Are all woodwind instruments made of wood?

No, with the exception of the flutes, all woodwind instruments have reeds, flutes used to have reeds (similar to Oboe reeds) and that is why they are still classed as woodwind.
