What is the vibrations that create sound in brass instruments come from?

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.

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 is the reason that instruments make sound?
Sound itself is vibrations in the air that are perceived as sound by the ear. Instruments are created as vehicles for the generation and amplification of those vibrations. When one hits a drum, the head of the drum vibrates, causing vibrations in the air that are perceived by the ear as sound. If you place your hand on the drumhead to stop the vibrations, the sound stops. When one plays a trombone, his lips buzz (vibrate) into the mouthpiece and that sound is amplified by resonance within the instrument. When a guitar string is plucked, the vibration of the string causes vibrations in the air that are perceived as sound.
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.

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.

How do musical instruments make their sound?
Making vibrations
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.
How does a brass instrument make noise?
Brass instruments are different from all the other instruments in that the person playing is solely responsible for the sound of the instrument. Brass instruments require the player to buzz their lips in the mouthpiece. This sound reverberates throughout the instrument and produces the sound that comes out of it. This differs from other instruments, where the player makes part of the instrument vibrate (i.e. reed, string, drum head). The pitch of brass instruments is then changed by changing the frequency of the vibrations created by the lips. If you buzz your lips at a higher pitch, the instrument plays a higher note. The opposite is also true. Buzzing your lips at a lower pitch creates a lower note.
What category is a french horn?
Wind instruments which produce sound using lip vibrations are classified as brass. The french horn meets this specification. It produces sound in a fashion similar to other brass instruments such as the trumpet, trombone and tuba.
