No one knows for certain as it is so old.

The oldest trumpets date back to 1500 B.C.E. and earlier. The bronze and silver trumpets from Tutankhamun's grave in Egypt, bronze lurs from Scandinavia, and metal trumpets from China date back to this period.[

Probably some type of piccolo pocket trumpet.

They are the trumpet, French horn, trombone, baritone, and tuba.

This is the "French horn" (a name more familiar and popular than the plain, official "horn").

A baritone and a euphonium are really similar so the baritone is in the euphonium category or in the brass instruments category.

The Euphonium was invented by Sommers of Weimar in 1843. Weimar is a city in Germany.

Brass instruments are played by pressing the lips together and blowing air to produce a buzzing sound. A mouthpiece projects this sound into the horn, which projects it further. The pitch of the sound can be changed two ways. One is by changing the pitch of the buzz. This will only get you a certain number of notes based on the key of your instrument (harmonic series). The other way is by lengthening your instrument. The longer the lower. On a trombone, it's easy to see. You push out the slide, the pitch goes down. On valve instruments, it's a bit more complicated. Pressing a valve opens a passageway so that the air can take a detour. Pressing a certain valve lowers the pitch a certain amount and you can get all the notes you want with different combinations of valves. On a trombone, it's simply how far you push out the slide.

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.

The simple answer is the tuba (the BBb tuba), however, the French Horn, bass trombone and tuba are all capable of playing very low notes. It really depends on the players lip, as the best ones can "lip notes down" a great deal.

There are also a few "freak instruments" like the sub-contrabass horn (only a couple in the world - don't write for it unless you know someone who has one) that people are constantly making and inventing, however, none of these are considered "standard instruments".

It will be difficult to find free sheet music for popular music, because most of it will be copyrighted... music is copyrighted until the composer has been dead for 100 years. After the composer has been dead for 100 years, the music is then considered to be in the public domain, which means it can then be used for free. So, music like Christmas carols or church hymns is in the public domain. However, if someone makes an arrangement of a public domain piece of music, that arrangement is now considered copyrighted by the arranger, and that arrangement is not in the public domain until the arranger has been dead for 100 years.

They're around 8-12 pounds depending on the model and brand of the instrument. For example a Besson Prestige weighs 10.3 pounds where as a Besson Sovereign weighs 9.4 pounds. See related link for specifications.

Both the oboe and the French horn are both particularly difficult instruments. The fact that an oboist has to make his own reeds doesn't make it harder, but unless he's a good reed maker, he'll be unreliable. Oboe playing depends so much on the quality of the reed that you have to be very good at making them. I can't tell you much about the French horn but I think it's quite hard to place the right note before playing it, the oboe doesn't have this problem.

Prussian Patent No. 19 was granted to Wilhelm Friedrich Wieprecht and Carl Moritz on September 12, 1835 for a "basstuba" in F1. The original Wieprecht and Moritz instrument used five valves of the Berlinerpumpen type that were the forerunners of the modern rotary valve.

The addition of valves made it possible to play low in the harmonic series of the instrument and still have a complete selection of notes. Prior to the invention of valves, brass instruments were limited to notes in the harmonic series, and were thus generally played very high with respect to their fundamental pitch. Harmonics starting three octaves above the fundamental pitch are about a whole step apart, making a useful variety of notes possible.

The ophicleide used a cup-shaped brass instrument mouthpiece but employed keys and tone holes similar to those of a modern saxophone. Another forerunner to the tuba was the serpent, a bass brass instrument that was shaped in a wavy form to make the tone holes accessible to the player. Tone holes changed the pitch by providing an intentional leak in the bugle of the instrument. While this changed the pitch, it also had a pronounced effect on the timbre. By using valves to adjust the length of the bugle the tuba produced a smoother tone that eventually led to its popularity.

Adolphe Sax, like Wieprecht, was interested in marketing systems of instruments from soprano to bass, and developed a series of brass instruments known as saxhorns. The instruments developed by Sax were generally pitched in E-flat and B-flat, while the Wieprecht "basstuba" and the subsequent Cerveny contrabass tuba were pitched in F and C (see below on pitch systems). Sax's instruments gained dominance in France, and later in Britain and America, as a result of the popularity and movements of instrument makers such as Gustave Auguste Besson (who moved from France to Britain) and Henry Distin (who found his way eventually to America).

Instruments don't play in clefs--people do. In the orchestral world, we trombonists are expected to play in Treble, Alto, Tenor, & Bass clefs on a regular basis. Jazz world is mostly Treble & Bass, though occassionally I've seen Tenor there as well.

The french horn is part of the brass family of instruments. In an orchestra or similar ensemble the french horn commonly plays akey melodic role in the overall structure of the piece. However the role of the french horn, or any instrument, is entirely up to the composer. This means that it cannot be clarified as to what the definate role of the french horn is, as it has no definite role.

But it is most commonly part of the key melodic structure otherwise it plays a harmonic role.

I find this website useful. It's written for piano, but I use it for my flute so it might work with trumpet. Just scroll down until you see the hyrule field music.

Hope this helped :D

Put the bell on your lap, position the lead pipe away from your head. Look down towards the bell. The model number should be engraved in that area. If you're looking for the serial number, I'd try looking on a valve casing, often the second valve.

It takes a lot of air to play the flute,and it could be hard for people with asthma to play it. I recommend the clarinet,it doesn't take much effort to play.

The actual instrument itself is what vibrates.

For example when you hit a cymbal, you can sometimes see the brass vibrating, and also if you touch the cymbal while it is making a sound you can feel the vibrations on your hand.

The most common type of trombone is Tenor. :)

Well, the trumpet can play a wide range of notes. It is also a major instrument in most musical pieces. it is also lighter than some other instruments and has a very distinctive and independent sound.
