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.

Its not the instrument, but the person that is in control.

(Quarter notes) B(Flat) B F F G G (Half note) F.

(Quarter notes) E(Flat) E D D C C (Half note) B(Flat)

All of these instruments are constructed in wood. This is the only similarity.

Yes...and no.

While trombones and trumpets both share the Bb as their fundamental pitch, they READ music differently...

The "Bb trumpet" is a transposing instrument. A written C comes out as a Bb.

The trombone is a concert pitch instrument. A written C comes out as a C.

So, trombones are PITCHED in Bb....but they READ in C, just like a flute or piano.

Brass instruments can have valves or a slide, but not reeds. Brass instruments create sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument change the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. Reeds are used in woodwind instruments to vibrate to produce a sound instead of using a mouthpiece like in brass instruments.

sorry if i'm wrong that was how I learned it.

normally 4 sometimes more but in all professional orchestras, 4

it provides the sound due to the vibration of the lips when the player blows into the tubular resonator.

The modern horn descends from ancient hunting horns that looked like the modern horn without the complicated tubing or valves. Playing would be similar to playing the modern horn without using the keys. You could still change pitch with your embouchure, but there were many gaps where certain notes could not be played. The reason the bell faced backwards was so the player could change the pitch with his hand, and since most people are right handed they continued to keep the right hand as the one in the bell, even after valves were developed.

A flugelhorn uses the same fingering and is played in the same manner as a b flat trumpet or cornet. I find notes with the flugelhorn mouthpiece a little harder to find and control than my trumpet, but that probably means that I just need to practice more.

Bass trombone

yes. think of it as

trumpet plays treble cleff. (high pitch instruments and sounds)

trombone plays bass cleff (lower notes and sounds)

The difference between the cleffs is 3 half steps (I believe)

Typically bass cleff notes are lower but not always. It depends if the two are the same part.

If you are asking about the treble clef baritone vs. bass clef baritone issue in bands, there's a catch: treble clef baritone players read notes written in the treble clef but the sound they make is actually a major 9th (octave + 1 whole step) lower. (E.g. if a treble-clef baritone player sees a middle C on the treble clef, the note that is actually played is a B-flat on the 2nd line from the bottom of the bass clef.) So actually, a bass-clef baritone part and a treble-clef baritone part from the same piece of music are probably identical in sound. They're just written differently.

The reason: trumpet players, who usually play in a B-flat transposition (sounds a step lower, their written C comes out B-flat), can switch over to baritone more easily if they continue to read the same clef and finger the notes the same way. (Same thing is true of the saxophones, who all read basically the same range of the treble clef, finger more or less the same, but come out with sounds in very different registers.) It's pretty common, at least in U.S. schools, for baritone players to have started out as trumpet players, and this practice facilitates the switch.

Most of the low brass world, though, uses untransposed bass clef--what you see is what you hear. Baritone players are well advised to learn bass clef as soon as possible. Still, they need to understand how the transposed treble-clef parts work--it's part of the environment.
