Sound on a brass instrument is produced by buzzing the lips into a mouthpiece, which creates vibrations. These vibrations travel through the instrument's tubing, resonating to produce sound. The pitch can be altered by changing lip tension and air pressure, as well as using valves or slides to modify the length of the tubing. The combination of these factors allows brass players to create a wide range of notes and dynamics.

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.
