In a brass instrument, sound is produced when the player buzzes their lips into the mouthpiece. This buzzing creates vibrations, which then travel through the air column inside the instrument. The shape and length of the instrument, along with the player's technique, affect the pitch and tone of the sound produced. Valves or slides may be used to change the pitch by altering the length of the air column.
