In the middle of the 19th century, valves came into use, making brass instruments more flexible, and able to produce many more tones.

Modern piston valves (the type that move up and down) were developed in the 1830s. Rotary valves were introduced some 20 years earlier.

Where did the tuba come from?

Originally brass instruments had no valves. As the industrial age came about, improved machining techniques allowed instrument makers to fit brass instruments with valves and develop new brass instruments. Whole new, families of instruments with members of different ranges were developed. The tuba is in the same family as the trumpet. Other types of brass instruments developed during this time which did not "catch on," such as the Saxhorns and Wagner Tubas which of course had individual members of different ranges - soprano, alto, tenor, bass. Simply put; the tuba was developed to fill out the bottom of the brass section and it was the one that "caught on".

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 is brass used to make a trumpet?

Brass is a rust-resistant metal compound that was relatively easily and inexpensively obtained by our ancestors, polishes easily, is malleable and has interesting musical properties at various thicknesses. Brass is comparatively light-weight compared to the other metals historically available. It should be noted that in modern times saxophones have been made of other materials, namely fiberglass. These instruments do not have the same tonal qualities as brass saxophones, and so are not widely used for anything other than training.
