In brass instruments, partials refer to the specific pitches or overtones produced when a player buzzes their lips into the mouthpiece. The instrument's length and shape determine which partials are available, with the fundamental pitch being the first partial and higher harmonics being subsequent partials. By adjusting lip tension and airflow, players can access these different pitches, allowing for a wide range of notes. Each brass instrument has its own set of partials, influenced by its design and tubing configuration.

What material are brass instruments made of, and why are they called brass instruments if they are not entirely made of brass?
Brass instruments are primarily made of brass, which is a metal alloy of copper and zinc. They are called brass instruments because the majority of their construction is made of brass, even though some parts, like valves and slides, may be made of other materials such as steel or nickel silver.

Brass band What is the difference in silver bands?

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.
