Four major brass instruments are:
Trumpet: A brass instrument with three valves and a cylindrical bore. It is known for its bright and piercing sound.
Trombone: A brass instrument with a slide that allows the player to change the pitch. It has a larger bore than the trumpet and produces a rich and mellow sound.
French horn: A brass instrument with a coiled tube and a large bell. It is played with the right hand inside the bell and produces a warm and round sound.
Tuba: The largest and lowest-pitched brass instrument. It has a wide conical bore and produces a deep and powerful sound.
Brass, percussion, string, and wind.
Brass instruments are, as the name suggests, made out of brass. They are then either lacquered, or silver plated, depending on the player's preferences.
Most trombones are made of brass hence the name brass instruments.

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)
These are the 5 categories of musical instruments as far as I know them. Membranophones- use a vibrating membrane to make a noise (ex. a conga drum) Idiophones- The actual instrument vibrates (ex. a xylophone or a bell) Aerophones- Moving air creates the sound (ex. a flute) Chordophones- Vibrating string makes sound (ex. a banjo) Electrophones- electronic production of a sound, coming out of a speaker (ex. keyboard)
The saxophone is a woodwind instrument Though it looks like brass, people always mistake it for brass instrument, but it is a woodwind. It does not have valves like the brass instruments, but has reed and finger holes covered by small pads. Some like to call it brasswind.
No, the noun 'brass' is a common noun; a general word for a metal compound; a general word for musical instruments made of this metal; a general word for the section of a band or orchestra comprised of these instruments; a word for any brass of any kind.A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing; for example, Brass Lantern Way in Reston, VA or the Brass Monkey (pub) in New York City.The word 'brass' is also an adjective, a word used to describe a noun.
Trumpet french horn Trombone Tuba (leastways, those are the ones that always show up in quartets. it could be argued that baritone/euphonium is within that category)
A-flat major.
