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.
Brass instruments do not have reeds, some woodwind instruments do.
Because they're made of brass.
Yes, brass instruments are loud
They are not brass instruments. They are woodwind instruments.
The tubing wraps around the way it does because if it was all one straight line, the horns would be too long to play.

No. Trombone is part of the brass family, even if it has valves. A woodwind instrument will most likely have a reed while brass instruments have cone-shaped mouthpieces.

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.

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.
