the sound comes from the vibration of the air as it passes the reed. the pitch of the sound is changed by changing the length of the column (thus forcing the wavelength to become longer) by holding down more keys.

None. The column of air inside the instrument vibrates. Compare this to a string instrument -- the string vibrates, of course. With the reed instrument, such as a clarinet or bassoon -- the reed vibrates. The vibrating reed causes the column of air inside the instrument to vibrate. However, the brass instruments do not have vibrating parts. What makes the column of air vibrate is the buzzing of the player's lips!
No, the clarinet is a woodwind instrument. A clarinet uses a reed to produce sound instead of using a mouthpiece and the player's embouchure to produce sound like brass instruments do.
No, they are two different families of musical instruments. Brass instrument produce sound by the vibration of air though a mouthpiece created by the vibration of the player's lips. A percussion instrument produces sound by being struck, scraped, or rubbed by the player's hand or against another instrument to create sound.
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 instruments are a family of musical instruments that create sound by moving air through or across an opening of the instrument, either through a hole like a flute, or across a reed that vibrates like a clarinet or saxophone. String instruments produce sound from the vibration of strings. Brass instrument produce sound by the vibration of air though a mouthpiece created by the vibration of the player's lips (player's embouchure). A percussion instrument produces sound by being struck, scraped, or rubbed by the player's hand or against another instrument.
Yes, a Flugelhorn is a brass instrument because it uses a mouthpiece and the player's vibrating lips to produce sound. The flugelhorn resembles a trumpet but has a wider, conical bore.
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.
The column of air within the flute vibrates as the player causes turbulence by blowing across the mouthpiece.
Usually, it is due to vibrations caused by the player's air/lip. A flute vibrates due to the player's air hitting a sharp edge in the embouchure; single-reeds vibrate against the mouthpiece, whereas double-reeds vibrate against each other. In some brass, it is usually the player's lip that vibrates against the mouthpiece and reverberates throughout.
No. It is a woodwind reed instrument. The brass section includes: Trumpets, Cornets, Trombones, Tubas, Sousaphones, Baritones, F Horns (formerly known as French Horns), and any instrument that uses a brass mouthpiece and requires the player to "buzz" their lips to produce the instruments sound. "Buzzing" the lips is a phrase in which the instrument player makes a buzzing sound with their lips. Commonly used in brass instruments.
