Brass is a metal alloy of mostly copper & zinc.
Bronze is an alloy of mostly copper & tin.
Bronze is often redder, stronger, more resistant to corrosion, harder and the making of bronze is much older than brass.
The biggest difference between bronze and brass is the density, mass, and weight. Bronze and brass are also made of different metals.
Brass is a much softer alloy than bronze. The term "brassy", which refers to the sound that the metal emits, explains the sound it emits. Bronze has a more tonal quality to its sound.
Brass IS an alloy of copper and zinc Copper and zinc are pure metals (elements)
Brass= 60%copper + 40%zinc. Bronze = 80%copper+20%Tin. The words "brass" and "bronze" are often used interchangeably, but they are very different metals. Both are alloys and both contain a lot of copper - but that is where the similarities end. Comparatively, brass is a very soft metal. For example, it is used for plumbing fixtures because it is easy to work with and easily tooled. Brass is not as hard as bronze. Brass is also prone to corrosion, so most plumbing fixtures are coated with another metal such as chrome to make it more durable. You will find that a brass bell does not sound as pure as a bronze bell. Brass bells have kind of a "clangy" or "brassy" sound to them. Bronze on the other hand is very hard and can last forever. In fact, there are several grades of bronze. A type called admiralty bronze was used for cannons and is used for propellers on boats.

Gunmetal, known as red brass in the United States, is a type of bronze, an alloy of 88% copper, 10% tin, and 2% zinc. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc; the amounts of each can vary to create brass with various properties.
