Brass Instruments

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.

To be called a mansion these days a house would have to cost over a million dollars.

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.

Your best option is probably a site like Craigslist, though it seems unlikely that you'll find one offered for free; trumpets are valuable enough that anyone who has a working one is probably going to want to recover at least part of their investment. (For that matter, even one that doesn't work is probably worth at least a few bucks as scrap metal.)

From Eb on the staff to Eb above the staff, they go 3 (Eb), 1 (F), 4 (G), 3 (Ab), 1 (Bb), 3 (C), 1 (D), and finally, 3 (Eb).

Hello

I also have a 1928 Browning 22 Trombone. Based on the serial number given, your gun dates prior to 1956 because it has no prefix or date code. Therfore based on total product of about 150000 units over 53 years your rifle should be a late 1940's model. I would say some ware around 1948 - 1949.

Hope this helps.

The tuba has the lowest tone/pitch. It is actually a pretty cool instrument, I play it in concert band!!

more precisely, they are valves. but here is how they are commonly referred to:

if the trumpet is in playing position(mouthpiece at your mouth, bell forward) the 1st valve is the one nearest to your face. your left thumb will rest either against this valve casing or in a little hook right near it. depressing this valve lowers the pitch of the instrument one whole step

the 2nd valve is the middle one. there will be a slide extending out at something like a 45 degree angle away from the trumpet on the casing for this valve. depressing this valve lowers the pitch of the instrument one half step

the 3rd valve is the farthest away from your face. your ring or middle finger will rest either on the casing for this valve or, more commonly, in a ring on a slide extending from the valve casing. depressing this valve lowers the pitch of the instrument one and one half steps. so the effect it roughly the same as if you had depressed both the 1st and 2nd valves at the same time (though depressing the 1st and 2nd valves is more in tune). here is a concert Bb (trumpet C) major scale using those valve names

C-open

D-1st and 3rd

E-1st and second (or 3rd alone)

F-1st

G-open

A-1st and second (or 3rd alone)

B-2nd

C-open

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yes.

Longer answer: Many people who start on the trumpet end up changing instruments (sometimes french horn, baritone, trombone, or tuba). However, the most popular instrument is still the trumpet.
