If brass instruments were straightened out, their length would be anywhere from 8 to 25 feet.
The tubing on the brass instruments is curved to get a long tube into a short length.
The tubing wraps around the way it does because if it was all one straight line, the horns would be too long to play.
The only common thing between all brass instruments are that they are made of at least half brass and they all need a mouth piece. There is also the same breathing techniques, though they can differ. For example, the theory that everything that is played is a long tone. Please note that I am not counting woodwind instruments, like saxophone, as brass instruments. If I did so there would be nothing in common with all brass instruments. I hope this helped!
Valves for brass instruments weren't developed until around the year 1800.
Brass instruments, like most instruments, can be used for almost anything! They are most commonly used for bands and orchestras though. Trumpets and bugles, both types of brass instruments, also have a long histories of use in the military. Today, brass instruments are often taught in school bands, and can be used to teach the foundations of music!

Brass instruments are made of immensely long tubes of metal. It they weren't curved in any way, the majority of them would stretch more than 20 feet. They were straight instruments (herald trumpets) before the technology was developed to curve them. They way they are curved is set by ergonomics, how people are. They try to make the instruments "fit" a person the best possible way so that it isn't a problem to hold/play them.
The trumpet was used as long ago as 1500 BCE. It is one of the oldest musical instruments in the brass family.
The low-pitched range is the tone that describes types of tones brass instruments produce. Requiring a long air column or string usually, to produce low pitches, the largest instruments in their families or instrument classes are the string and wind bass instruments.
If the tubing on a Bb tenor trombone were straightened out, it would meaure 108 inches (or 9 feet) from mouthpiece to bell.

Ummmm that's almost impossible. Uness you have it permanently straightened. I just had my hair "professionally" straightened but if i wash it it curls! Just straighten your hair after u wash it wth a blow dryer.. then a straghtener but the answer to your question is: not very long!
