Brass Instruments

You play it as written in concert pitch. For example, the C scale will show 2 sharps, but you play it as a C scale, no flats/no sharps. You have to transpose the notes down a step, so you will actually be playing a C and reading a D. It would be easier to learn to read bass clef!

Not really. If it's that big a concern, the only way to get rid of them is to strip the horn's finish and get it replated.

They would have had early forms of trumpets/bugles in different sizes. No valves though, as those weren't invented until hundreds of years later. The names of some of these instruments include cornu and buccina.

It's hard to figure out how to approach this question, but here goes:

Brass instruments change from note to note by combining two different techniques--making the length of the tube longer (making the pitch lower) and by overblowing the tube to make the air vibrate at a higher spot on the harmonic series (making the pitch higher).

The other brass instruments lengthen the tube using valves; when you push a valve down, the air is diverted through an extra piece of tubing. The trombone lengthens the tube by means of the slide. It's the only orchestral or band instrument that does this, and I think it's safe to say that it is harder to learn the exact spot of each position on the trombone slide than it is to learn which buttons to push on the other instruments.

But the other part--overblowing the tube to produce higher notes--is arguably harder on the French horn, because the horn's usual playing range is higher up on the harmonic series than that of the other brass, and the higher you go the closer the different harmonics get together. That makes it harder to pick out the right one, considerably more so than on the trombone or the other brass.

Now which part is harder? I'd have to say that I've heard more beginning students struggle with the French horn than with the trombone. The oboe and bassoon also seem to be harder to learn, or even to get a decent sound from. And the strings have the same challenge as the trombone--they have to develop muscle memory to know exactly where to put their fingers down on the strings for the different notes. I think I've heard more out-of-tune beginning violinists than out-of-tune beginning trombonists, or maybe they were worse out of tune. There's probably something to be said for the relative difficulty of fine motor skills (hitting the right note on a violin string) and gross motor skills (moving a trombone slide to the right position).

All that said, at a more advanced level the trombone presents some issues that the other wind instruments don't. Since the trombone often has to move the slide to change notes, it can be challenging to make a clean transition from one note to another without smearing, especially at a fast tempo. The other instruments just push different buttons.

And above all, though some instruments are harder to learn at the beginning, any instrument is challenging to play really WELL!

It is possible to play a high G on the trumpet. You can play almost about any pitch on the trumpet if your lips are tight enough but they let air flow through.

Same fingerings as trumpet in the treble cleff.

In base cleff they are as followed:

(starting on E below the staff)

E 123 F 13 F#/ Gb 23 G 12 Ab 1 A 2 Bb 0 B 123 C 13 C#/ Db 23 D 12 Eb 1 E 2 F 0 F#/ Gb 23 G 12 Ab 1 A 2 Bb 0 C 1 C#/ Db 2 D 0 Eb 1 E 2 F 0 F# 23 G 12 Ab 1 A 2 Bb 0

(this is basically the range for the baritone)

Depends on the chord.

No, the Euphonium was invented by Sommers of Weimar in 1843. Weimar is a city in Germany. See related link for more information about the euphonium.

Welcome to the bass and baritone sax review section.

Yes.

The french horn has much lower capabilities.

you cant

order of brass instruments from hightest to lowest pitch

This song is in the key of A but because the trumpet and trombone are in Bb the key will differ depending on which Clef you read. Treble Clef (G Clef) - Song will be in the key of B with 5 sharps (F# C# G# D# A#). Notes for the part are: 1st measure 4 quarter notes are B G# F# E, 2nd measure 2 quarter notes 4 8th notes D# C# B D# F# A#/// then 4 quarter notes C# B A# G# 8th rest 3 8th notes F# A# B 2 quarter notes C# B Bass Clef (F Clef) - Song will be in the key of A with 3 sharps (F# C# G#). Notes for the part are: 1st measure 4 quarter notes are A F# E D, 2nd measure 2 quarter notes 4 8th notes C# B A C# E G#/// then 4 quarter notes B A G# F# 8th rest 3 8th notes E G# A 2 quarter notes B A Email Chrponce@lycos.com for complete song

The valves in a brass instrument re-direct the air into different parts of the tubing. Each valve controls a different part of the instrument. The longer the tubing, the lower the note will be.

No, In fact it is a Tuba.

actually, most marching bands use susaphones which are just marching tuba's. the reason is because they are light weight antd a heck of a lot easier to carry

No it just feels kinda weird. :p

Made under the manufacturer "Jupiter" Tribute Trumpet Type JTR-1000.

They still make trumpets see the link.

Both it has a really big range actually infinite. Thats why you should play french horn

The range of a baritone horn typically extends from the concert pitch of E2 (the second E below middle C) to approximately B4 (the B above middle C). This range can vary slightly depending on the player's skill and the specific instrument, but it generally encompasses about two and a half octaves. The baritone horn is known for its rich, warm tone and is commonly used in brass bands and concert ensembles.
