Brass and wind instruments make sound by vibrating strings?
FALSE.
What are the differences between brass and woodwind instruments?
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).
Why are brass instruments made of coils of metal tubing?
to make up the length for the sound
What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?
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.
Why is it easier to make musical instruments from brass instead of copper?
Actually, copper is softer than brass, and easier to work. The reason musical instruments are made from brass instead of pure copper is because that alloy with zinc is much more durable than copper alone, and does not as readily corrode.

What device do brass players put on the end of their horns to make the sound softer?
a cork from a wine bottle

Which brass instruments are played by buzzing your lips to make a sound?
trumpet, French horn, trombone, and the tuba.
What are the main groups of instruments?
Percussion - example - Drums: these instruments are struck with something such as the hand, or a stick or hammer to make the sound. Woodwind- Example - Clarinet: these instruments have a reed to vibrate to make the sound. Brass- example - Trumpet: these instruments make sound by the vibrating lips of the player. String - example - violin : these instruments have strings that rubbed with a bow or plucked to make a sound There are also electronic instruments such as the theremin and one might consider the human voice to be an instrument.
What do brass instruments have?
"Cup" style mouthpieces that you purse your lips and blow into, rather than putting your mouth around them.All brass instruments produce sound by sympathetic vibration of air in a tubular resonator in sympathy with the vibration of the player's lips. All brass instruments are also called labrosones, meaning "lip-vibrated instruments".
The player produces sound on a brass instrument by vibrating his or her lips in a cup-shaped mouthpiece?
The instruments of the brass family make sound by causing the player's lips to buzz in a metal cup-shaped mouthpiece.
Why is copper used to make instruments?
Musical instruments particularly brass instruments, are made out of copper because it doesn't wear out, it produces a great colour and it doesn't effect the sound waves at all.
