What instruments are played in the harmonic series?

The harmonic series can be produced by various instruments, primarily those that can generate sound through vibrating air columns or strings. Common examples include brass instruments like trumpets and trombones, woodwinds such as flutes and clarinets, and string instruments like violins and cellos. Each of these instruments can produce a series of overtones that align with the harmonic series, contributing to their unique timbres. Overall, the harmonic series is fundamental to understanding the acoustics of many musical instruments.


How are the valves used in brass instruments?

Brass instrument have valves to change the length of tubing that the air passes through. This allows the instrument to play different notes of various harmonic series.


Do brass instruments all have reeds?

Brass instruments do not have reeds, some woodwind instruments do.


How did brass instruments evolve to play in weird keys like Eb and Bb. Why not in C like stringed instruments?

It has to do with the size of the instruments and the overtone series.

What techniques are used to control pitch in one or more kinds of brass instruments?

In brass instruments, pitch control is primarily achieved through the use of valves or slides. Valves redirect air through additional tubing, effectively lengthening or shortening the instrument's overall length and altering the pitch. In instruments like the trombone, players adjust the pitch by sliding the trombone's slide in and out to change the tube length. Additionally, players can manipulate their embouchure and airflow to fine-tune pitch and achieve different notes within the harmonic series.


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.


What does a trombone have which other brass instruments don't have?

A trombone has a slide, which other brass instruments lack.
