The orchestra is not a group of instruments - it contains groups of instruments such as woodwind, brass, strings and percussion.
They are not brass instruments. They are woodwind instruments.
Actually there are four types of musical instruments: String Family Brass Family Woodwind Family Percussion Family Because the Brass and the Woodwind families are blown to work they can be regarded as the Wind Family of the instruments. Therefore if you want to divide the instruments into three: Strings, Winds, Percussion
Brass instruments do not have reeds, some woodwind instruments do.
Woodwind instruments use reeded mouthpieces to produce sound (except the flute which is also woodwind). Brass instruments on the other hand do not.
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.

Woodwind, brass, strings and percussion.
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.
In music, the brass and woodwind are groups or families of instruments. Most brass instruments are a gold like colour, like a tuba, (though some of this colour aren't). Some woodwind have reeds to blow through, like an oboe, (double reed or single reed), or just a hole to blow into, like a flute.
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).
