No - there are no reeds at all in what are called the "brass instruments". The distinguishing feature of this group is that the sound is made by vibrating your lips on the mouthpiece, inviting the column of air in the instrument body to vibrate in sympathy with your lips. The air column amplifies the small movements of air your lips make - as you find out if you stand next to a trumpeter. I used to share a room with a trombonist, and know....!
The fact that the instruments are usually made of brass is really neither here nor there in terms of how this "family" works, so it's not really an ideal name for the family....
Instruments in a "silver" band work just the same, but tend to have a slightly sweeter sound.
What else can I help you with?
Why are brass instruments better for parades?
Because they emit pyroecclesiastical vibrations, which Stevie Wonder was famous for in his soundtrack to the Sound of Music.
What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?
One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.
An instrument that causes air to vibrate is classified as a(n) .?
aerophone
Do you blow into any brass instruments?
No not really, you buzz into the mouthpiece to create a sound. Blowing into a brass instrument like you would for a woodwind instrument that has a reed will not produce any sound.
What does the trumpet french horn and trombone have in common?
They are all brass instruments that create sound by vibrating the lips against a mouthpiece.
What are some instruments that fit in to the brass category?
Brass instruments create sound through air vibrations in a tubular resonator. Common brass instruments include the trumpet, french horn, trombone, euphonium, and tuba.
What do brass instruments usually have to create sounds or tones?
Brass instruments produce sound by the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece.
How do percussion instruments produce sound?
Percussion instruments produce sound by being struck, shaken, or scraped, causing vibrations that create sound waves. These vibrations travel through the instrument and into the air, producing the sound that we hear.

What is the main difference between woodwind and brasswind musical instruments?
While both brass and woodwind instruments are played by blowing air into the mouthpiece, there are fundamental differences. Woodwinds, such as the clarinet and saxophone, use wooden reeds fitted to the mouth piece and it's the vibrations of this reed that create the sound. Brasswinds do not have a reed and the sound is created by the vibrations of the lips on the mouth piece.
What do the brass and percussion family both have in common?
Both the brass and percussion families produce sound by vibrating air molecules, with brass instruments using a player's lips to create vibrations and percussion instruments using striking or shaking of various materials. Additionally, both families often play a crucial role in providing rhythm and texture in musical ensembles.

What are the different types of acoustic musical instruments and how do they produce sound?
Acoustic musical instruments can be categorized into four main types: string instruments, wind instruments, percussion instruments, and keyboard instruments. String instruments, like guitars and violins, produce sound by vibrating strings that are plucked, strummed, or bowed. Wind instruments, such as flutes and trumpets, create sound by blowing air through a tube or reed, causing vibrations that produce sound waves. Percussion instruments, like drums and cymbals, produce sound by being struck, shaken, or scraped, creating vibrations that produce sound waves. Keyboard instruments, such as pianos and organs, produce sound by pressing keys that trigger hammers or air flow to create vibrations and sound waves.

What are the different types of woodwind instruments, such as the clarinet, and how do they produce sound?
Woodwind instruments include the clarinet, flute, saxophone, and oboe. They produce sound by blowing air through a mouthpiece or reed, causing vibrations in the instrument's body. The vibrations create sound waves that resonate and produce music.

They are all brass instruments that create sound by vibrating the lips against a mouthpiece.
