Brass Instruments

To play the baritone you buzz your lips but not as much as the trumpet, and you will make a sound. Not that hard

Sound is produced by placing the lips on the mouthpiece and blowing while vibrating the lips. The larger the mouthpiece, the lower the sound of the instrument. By tightening or loosening the lips, it is possible to produce different notes, but only so many notes can be produced this way, so you press down the valves to create more notes. See related link for more information.

Yes.

There is an instrument called a "valve trombone", which basically looks like a trombone except that the slide doesn't move and there are three valves near the mouthpiece that look a lot like trumpet valves. In fact, trumpet players are often asked to play valve trombone in middle and high school jazz bands when no regular trombone players are around to fill the seat. This is possible because the fingerings on a valve trombone are exactly the same as those on a trumpet.

Some trombone players, me included, find the valve trombone to have a somewhat flatter (tone, not pitch) sound than a traditional trombone. However, a good enough musician can easily achieve a beautiful sound on a valve trombone.

Additionally, there is a horn called a marching trombone that also three valves. It is similar to a baritone, but the tubing length and bore sizes are closer to those of a trombone.

Trombones come in many sizes.

However, the common tenor, Bb (B-flat) trombone is -- if you were to stretch the tubing out in a straight line -- nine feet long. This is what gives the instrument its fundamental pitch of Bb. By comparison, a Bb trumpet, which is pitched an octave higher than the trombone, is exactly half the length of its larger cousin: 4½ feet long.

There are trombones larger and smaller than this common Bb instrument. The contrabass trombone is typically pitched an octave below the tenor trombone. Its overall length would be 18 feet (doubled, of course). The soprano trombone (or slide trumpet) is the same length of the standard Bb trumpet, mentioned above.

Higher range- 4 (G), 2 (A), 1 (B flat), 3 (C), 1 (D), 2 (E), 1 (F)

***To find the arpeggio you take the note that you start with and you play every other note in the scale. when you get to the top you hold as a half note and go back down....***

The arpeggio in this scale would be- 4 (G) , 1 ( B flat), 1 (D higher than B flat lower than high F), 1(F)*two count hold*,1 (D higher than B flat lower than high F), 1 ( B flat), 4 (G)

The tuba is the lowest in the brass family.

In all, 45. That's blowing hard and soft and all...alot isn't it!
The written range of the trumpet (low F# to high C) contains 31 notes, but experienced players can extend that range much higher and, to a lesser extent, lower.

French horn

hi, it's either the mouthpiece or the bell. Am currently playin alto sax, from clarinet x

There are endless possibilities, but these are some of my favorites. For jazz, look for JJ Johnson/Kai Winding solos- "Don't Argue" was my favorite. "My Favorite Things" is also a good one, along with "When I Fall In Love". "What a wonderful world" sounds great, but its not necessarily jazz. For big band solos, my favorites are Duke Ellington/Count Basie's "Battle Royale" and Woody Herman's "Bijou" and "My Favorite Things".

No. It is either considered a wind, electronic or hybrid instrument. One common misconception is that the pipes are made of brass due to the fast that facade pipes are often painted gold. Organ pipes are made of a lead - tin alloy, pure tin, pure lead (with trace hardeners such as antimony), wood or combinations thereof. Occasionally copper is used and on even rarer occasions brass is used for specialty pipes. Aluminum has also been experimented with.

The French Horn's range easily surpasses the other brass instrument's do to its unique shape. It is conical like other brass, but doesn't open as quickly allowing higher range while having long circular tubing enabling the lower register.

For a f-Trigger attachment Anywhere from 600 to 1000$ for a new trombone of average quality. Although a high quality trombone can cost well over 1500$. Another option is buy a used one that would be cheaper.

Small bore(Jazz or beginner horn)

These are typically cheaper but not the best to use once you've gotten past your beginner use unless your using it as a jazz horn. They are usually around the same price but you can find cheaper ones than you can for f-Trigger trombones.

Bass trombones

These are also for jazz and for concert but they are the priciest of the bunch. They will cost well over 1000$ for one since they are very complex and consume alot of material.

If you mean if all of the tubing were uncoiled it would be between 12 and 13 feet long.

Brass instruments vary from orchestra to orchestra.

Almost all orchestras have about four trumpets, three trombones, and four French horns. These numbers are approximate, and these players have harmony or counter-melody parts in comparison with the strings.

Many orchestras will have a tuba on a part similar to the double bass.

Some will have a euphonium or a baritone, but they generally play the Trombone part anyway.

Orchestras pretty much never have flugelhorns or mellophones. Even though it's technically a woodwind, they also usually lack saxophones.

The trombone is pitched in concert C, but this is undoubtedly not the most common key. Usually, any band trombonist will play often in Bb, but as the musician matures any key is possible. Orchestras are fond of sharp keys, especially A or G.

The frequency range for the most commonly played notes on the trombone is 82.41 Hz (E2 or "low E," just below the bass clef staff) to 466.16 Hz (Bb4 or "high B-flat," fourth ledger line above the bass clef staff).

Of course, the upper range of any brass instrument is largely decided by the ability of the player.

The lowest notes (the pedal notes) on the trombone begin at Bb1 ("pedal B-flat") or 58.27 Hz and extend down to E1 ("pedal E") or 41.20 Hz.

(The frequencies shown are correct for tuning at "A=440")

You are correct; the Roman military Trumpet was about four foot in length, and was used as a military signal trumpet. It was usually made from copper or iron and was a conical bore straight tube that came in three pieces with a mouthpiece. Although the Roman tuba (trumpet) was used at sacrifices, processions, triumphal processions and funerals, it was primarily used to announce troop movements during battle. Classifications range from 'wind' to 'brass' to 'aerophone' and it was intended to be played as loudly as possible.

Although the term orchestra, meaning a group of musicians performing together, dates back to Ancient Egypt, the modern orchestra we would recognize today dates back to about the 17th century with the popularity of opera and public concerts. Prior to this, groups of musicians would be found only in the houses of nobilty so that they might provide entertainment to guests.

By comparison, the trombone has been around since the mid 15th century.

So, you might ask, "who introduced the orchestra to the trombone?"

Similar to the modern version, but with less tubing and no valves.

There are barely any baritone players, so the competition is less intense than other instruments. The baritone is an easy instrument to learn how to play, too. Plus, it's a low brass instrument, which makes it super amazing.

If you play baritone, you are just an overall cooler person. :)
