What are the two types of brass instruments?
The modern family of brass instruments can be broken into valved brass instruments (trumpet, horn, euphonium, tuba) and slide brass instruments (trombone). Brass instruments could also be broken up into Cylindrical bore (constant diameter tubing like the trumpet and trombone) and Conical bore (increasing diameter tubing like the horn, euphonium, and tuba).
Why is the tubing on the brass instruments curved?
The tubing on the brass instruments is curved to get a long tube into a short length.
What is the best description of a cylindrical bored instrument?
The size of the tubing remains the same throughout the length of the instrument.
Why are brass instruments made of coils of metal tubing?
to make up the length for the sound
how do valves work on brass instruments?
The way the valves on a brass instrument work is that when pressed down they allow air to pass through a piece of tubing, thus making the length of tubing of the trumpet longer, this allows valved instruments to be able to play more notes than instruments without valves.
Is the Euphonium conical or cylindrical?
A cylindrical brass instrument is like the trumpet. It's not literally cylinder-shaped, but the pipe width stays constant for a while before flaring out as the bell. Its shape is the reason for its brassier sound. A conical instrument is more like the French horn. Again, it's not really a cone, but its pipes are constantly growing wider throughout the instrument. That's why it sounds so full and rich.
Which of these is a tiny, cylindrical, multi-celled carbon tube used for minimizing instruments used in space applications?
nanotube
Why do string instruments have a round hole instead of a square one?
waves travel in more cylindrical patterns. If the whole in stringed instruments was square it may actually hinder the sound by disrupting the sound waves.
What is glass tubing and how it is used?
Glass tubing is exactly what it sounds like -- a tube made of glass. Glass tubing comes in all shapes in sizes, with tube diameters or just a millimeter or less up to very large tubes. It can be used for a number of things. I can be used to carry both liquid and gasses. With a triangular file, it is possible to break glass tubing into smaller pieces. Using a hot flame from a Bunsen burner, it is possible to bend glass tubing into other shapes.See the Web Links to the left for more information about how to use glass tubing.
Why use fr for sizes?
I can't say why it persists, but tubing sizes are called "french" because they were invented by a French man who made surgical instruments.
Why do brass instruments have so many curves and twists?
The tubing wraps around the way it does because if it was all one straight line, the horns would be too long to play.
What are the differing characteristics of steel channel and steel tubing?
Other than shape and or dimensions, not a whole bunch. Both materials are most likely rolled from the same billet or raw material (a long, rectangular or cylindrical unfinished bar of iron or steel) in the same or similar rolling mills. These types of materials are known simply as mild carbon steel or merchant bar. This is assuming you mean HSS (Hollow Structural Steel) also known as square, or rectangular tubing. Most cylindrical pipe (sometimes called tubing) is mild carbon steel as well. There are seamless, or heavy wall pipes that may be of higher tensile. These are for specialized application and are less common.
