What instruments are in the brass section?

Answer 1

The main brass instruments in the brass section of an orchestra are Trumpet, french horn, Trombone and tuba. There are many others like tenor horns, euphoniums, flugel horn, cornet and tenor and bass trombones; these are rarer and usually will not be in your standard orchestra.
