Additionally, some trombone bells have a red color. This just means that there is more copper in the brass composition, more like 85% copper, 15% zinc. This redder color is often referred to as "Rose Brass" or "Red Brass". Although, true red brass is not brass, but what is known as gunmetal, an alloy that contains copper, zinc, tin & lead. BTW: Bronze and brass are similar, as they both contain copper. However, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, instead of copper and zinc.
