Is the trombone considered to be a brass instrument?

Answer 1

No. It is either considered a wind, electronic or hybrid instrument. One common misconception is that the pipes are made of brass due to the fast that facade pipes are often painted gold. Organ pipes are made of a lead - tin alloy, pure tin, pure lead (with trace hardeners such as antimony), wood or combinations thereof. Occasionally copper is used and on even rarer occasions brass is used for specialty pipes. Aluminum has also been experimented with.

Answer 2

Even though the flute is made of metal, like the Saxophone it is considered a woodwind instrument. Brass instruments are the ones that are played by buzzing the lips, such as Trumpet, Trombone, flugelhorn, french horn, tuba, baritone.....

Answer 3

Just like a trumpet, yes, a trombone is considered to be a brass instrument. Just like all brass intruments, the trombone produces sound by the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece.
