Brass instruments are made of immensely long tubes of metal. It they weren't curved in any way, the majority of them would stretch more than 20 feet. They were straight instruments (herald trumpets) before the technology was developed to curve them. They way they are curved is set by ergonomics, how people are. They try to make the instruments "fit" a person the best possible way so that it isn't a problem to hold/play them.

Why are the brass instruments coiled and shaped differently?
Brass instruments are coiled and shaped differently to alter their pitch and tone while maintaining a manageable size for playability. The length and configuration of the tubing affect the instrument's fundamental frequency, allowing musicians to produce a wide range of notes. Additionally, the unique shapes can enhance specific tonal qualities and make the instruments easier to hold and play. Overall, these design variations contribute to the distinct sound characteristics of each brass instrument.

What material are brass instruments made of, and why are they called brass instruments if they are not entirely made of brass?
Brass instruments are primarily made of brass, which is a metal alloy of copper and zinc. They are called brass instruments because the majority of their construction is made of brass, even though some parts, like valves and slides, may be made of other materials such as steel or nickel silver.
