Yes, brass instruments produce a lower pitch than woodwind instruments. Woodwind instruments use a reed to vibrate the air to produce sound, whereas brass instruments produce sound from the player's lips vibrating in a mouthpiece.

The pitch in an instrument can be how large or small the instrument is - as in small instruments are pitched higher and big instruments are pitched lower. In woodwind and brass instruments the volume is determined by how hard you blow down the instrument. On the piano it is how hard you press down on the keys. On an orchestral string instrument it is how softly you draw the bow across the strings. On a guitar it is how hard you pluck the strings.
It's basic physics. A longer tube will produce a lower pitch than a shorter tube.
Brass instruments produce sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument alter the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. The farther the air has to travel in the instrument the lower the pitch of the sound is, whereas the less distance the air has to travel the higher the pitch the instrument will produce.

BrassOn a brass instrument the bigger the mouthpiece the lower the pitch is.Must brass instrument have keys? The first brass band started around 1815.. All brass instruments have a mouthpiece you have to vibrate your lips.I play the baritone it is like the tuba or the trombone the baritone is smaller than the tuba and it has a no slide like the trombone. Brass instruments normally have a bell so the sound is loud. Most brass instruments are a gold colour or it is a silver colour. The brass instruments are made out of brass that is why it is called brass. The longer the tube is the lower the pitch is the shorter the tubing the high the pitch is. Brass can be classic or jazz.
One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.
A length of pipe has a natural resonance when air is vibrated within it. The longer the pipe the lower the note
Brass instruments are different from all the other instruments in that the person playing is solely responsible for the sound of the instrument. Brass instruments require the player to buzz their lips in the mouthpiece. This sound reverberates throughout the instrument and produces the sound that comes out of it. This differs from other instruments, where the player makes part of the instrument vibrate (i.e. reed, string, drum head). The pitch of brass instruments is then changed by changing the frequency of the vibrations created by the lips. If you buzz your lips at a higher pitch, the instrument plays a higher note. The opposite is also true. Buzzing your lips at a lower pitch creates a lower note.
The instrument that can produce the lowest pitch are Saxophone,Woodwind & low pitch Piano ect....
The piccolo is the highest pitched instrument in the woodwind family
Tuba
