What is a brass instrument?

Answer 1

Brass is an alloy of copper (Cu) and zinc(Zn).

Red brass is 85% copper and 15% zinc, while yellow brass is 60% copper and 40% zinc.

It's important in chemistry to understand that brass is not a compound of copper and zinc; it is a homogeneous mixture of those elements. A compound contains at least two chemically bonded elements, copper and zinc in brass aren't bonded by covalent bonds, ionic bonds, etc.; they're simply mixed together to form brass.

Answer 2

The brass family consists of the following instruments: the trumpets and cornets, the French horns (technically brass instruments although commonly associated with the woodwinds), the trombones, and the tubas (which

include the euphonium). Note that while the saxophones are made of

brass, they are woodwind and not brass instruments, because of their

keys and mouthpiece (similar to a Clarinet).

Answer 3

Brass instruments are instruments whose sound is made by vibration of air in a tube-like resonator in sympathy with the vibration of the player's lips. They are brassy and metallic in color. The pitch comes from two different places, the shape of the players lips, mouth, tongue, etc and the buttons or slides used to change the tubular valves.

A brass instrument is a musical instrument whose tone is produced by vibration of the lips as the player blows into a tubular resonator . They are also called labrosones, literally meaning "lip-vibrated instruments"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The brass instrument family are instruments that produce sound by buzzing the lips together into a mouthpiece that projects the sound to the instrument, which further projects the sound.
