What is different about the Trombone compared to the other brass instruments?
The trombone has a slide that can be moved to change the pitch of notes rather than valves or keys that lengthen the tubing to change the pitch of notes like other brass instruments. And there are a lot more than 3 other brass instruments.
How do valves and slides affect the pitch on brass instruments?
Brass instruments produce sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument alter the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. 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.
What causes the pitch of the brass instruments to change?
Brass instruments have a brassy timbre due to the size of the bore (the hole), and how much emphasis is being put in to playing the instrument in order to generate the noise quality from the instrument.
What does the trombone have that other brass instruments do not have?
Unlike the rest of the brass family, trombones change notes by moving a slide instead of using valves.
How air change the pitch of wind instruments?
If you blow with faster air, you'll probably have an easier time playing higher notes. Slower air makes it easier to hit low notes. I'm a brass player but this is what I've heard my band teacher say to our flutes a lot.

Is brass instrument is lower pitch then woodwind instrument?
Yes, brass instruments produce a lower pitch than woodwind instruments. Woodwind instruments use a reed to vibrate the air to produce sound, whereas brass instruments produce sound from the player's lips vibrating in a mouthpiece.

What do brass instruments have valves reeds or slides?
Brass instruments can have valves or a slide, but not reeds. Brass instruments create sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument change the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. Reeds are used in woodwind instruments to vibrate to produce a sound instead of using a mouthpiece like in brass instruments.
Which brass instrument plays the highest note?
A trumpet plays the highest notes of all the brass instruments Other relatively common brass instruments include (in descending order by pitch): Flugelhorn Mellophone French Horn Trombone Baritone Euphonium Tuba Although flutes and clarinets can play higher notes than trumpets, flutes and clarinets are part of the woodwind family.
Are brass instruments high or low pitch?
They can be both high and low pitch. There are brass instruments that are considered "high voices" like trumpets, there are brass instruments that are considered "middle voices" like french horns, and then there are brass instruments that are considered "low voices" like trombones, euphoniums, and tubas. All brass instruments have a pretty large range of pitches they can play depending on how good the player is, so the pitches can greatly vary.
What are facts about brass?
BrassOn a brass instrument the bigger the mouthpiece the lower the pitch is.Must brass instrument have keys? The first brass band started around 1815.. All brass instruments have a mouthpiece you have to vibrate your lips.I play the baritone it is like the tuba or the trombone the baritone is smaller than the tuba and it has a no slide like the trombone. Brass instruments normally have a bell so the sound is loud. Most brass instruments are a gold colour or it is a silver colour.
