Brass Instruments

Consonance

Two trumpets were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. They are made of bronze or copper with gold overlay and date to 1323 BC.

As these would be classed as a brass instrument, brass instruments must date from at least this period. However, who invented them is lost in ancient history.

The saxophone. While the instrument itself is commonly made of brass, the mechanics of it, as well as the use of a reed, make it a woodwind.

E.F. Durand isnt a bad company but not a good company. Their musical instruments are more for a cheap buy. I bought an E.F. Durand Bb rotary valve cornet but it doesnt seem bad. It looks kind of cheap so it may dent easily but other than that it plays just fine. I would say they are a so so company not bad but not the best.

British TV presenter and model Mel Sykes used to play the Baritone for Ashtonian Brass Band.

He didn't. Not as we know it. He commissioned a class of brass instruments in 1853 to be used in his operas that were more closely related to the French Horn - the Wagner Tubas.

Brass instruments have a brassy timbre due to the size of the bore (the hole), and how much emphasis is being put in to playing the instrument in order to generate the noise quality from the instrument.

A trombone uses a slide. A trumpet uses valves. Also, the trombone is pitched lower than the trumpet, and has a different tone quality. If you think of brass instruments as voices, the trumpet is the soprano, and the trombone is the tenor.

Trumpets are made of several materials, the primary one being brass. There is also cork (for water keys), felt (for valve pads), and a few other minor materials. However, brass is the most dominant material in any *brass* instrument.

I'm no brass instrument, but rotary valves are used for several instruments. French horns all seem to have them. They're pretty common on tubas as well. There are even some rotary valve trumpets out there. I don't know, though, anything about the advantages and/or disadvantages of rotary valves as opposed to the piston valves that seem to be more common for most brass instruments.

If you hold the French horn to your mouth, the valves will be facing the right side of the room. See the opening at the end? Put your right hand in it and flatten it and put it on one of the walls. Put your left hand on the valves. That is how you hold a French horn

Trumpet is used in a lot of jazz songs, and many of them are famous, so it's hard to answer your question.

Theoretically, the range of the trumpet is limited only by the person playing it. However, for a typical trumpet player, the lower end of the range is the F#/Gb below Low C (Concert Bb). The upper range of the trumpet is as high as you can play, but most trumpet players can reach High C (two octaves above low C) relatively comfortably with practice.

low pitched if it isn't obvious! The saxophone is very high pitched and it sounds like a little girl screaming at the top of her lungs but the bass saxophone is very very low it sounds like somebody is like woooooow very slowly and loudly at the same time

A 2-valved trumpet is actually a type of bugle. The purpose is the same as that on a normal trumpet. The only difference is that you can play fewer notes on the two valved instrument, but more than on a traditional bugle.

Finding sheet music for solo Euphonium is rather difficult. If you read bass clef, it may be easier to simply find trombone sheet music and play off of that. If you read treble clef, go with trumpet sheet music. Both are Bb instruments like the Euphonium, and have similar tonal structure as well, so it wouldn't be too difficult to use those instead of Euphonium music.

If that's not an option, websites such as sheetmusicplus.com, jwpepper.com, and musicnote.net can be a big help. Just search for common music publishers (Hal Leonard, for example) and see if they have online store fronts.

Brass instruments, like most instruments, can be used for almost anything! They are most commonly used for bands and orchestras though. Trumpets and bugles, both types of brass instruments, also have a long histories of use in the military.

Today, brass instruments are often taught in school bands, and can be used to teach the foundations of music!

Instruments of the trumpet family, which includes trombones, were known in very ancient history, in places like Mesopotamia. The word "sackbutt," an English word for the trombone, is mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible. See the Related Link for more information.

There are a number of reasons for this.

the first and main is so that the rest of the orchestra can hear them properly.

the second is because they could block the rest of the orchestra from the audience if they were in the front, as they take up a lot of room. this could stop all of the sound getting through, and make the rest of the orchestra harder to see.

There are other reasons as well

When you talk length of 'the saxophone', you face the fact that, originally, Adolphe Sax made some 16 sizes!

Wikianswers has a good post about the saxophone (see the related link), which quotes 5' for the approximate length of the tenor sax. Saxes an octave higher or lower will be factors of 2 of this size, so the soprano sax, for instance, is about 2.5 feet long.

F - first F# - fifth G - forth G# - third A - second A# - first B - fourth C - third C# - second D - first D# - third E - second F - first That should be it... if not, play around and you should be able to figure it out. It's pretty much strait up from fourth to first the whole time. Aren't chromatic scales great?

French horn is very hard- and that is both an advantage and a disadvantage. It is hard to learn and the music can be challenging to play, but many directors, composers, and colleges favor french horn over many other instruments because of its unique tone quality and sound. Scholarships are widely available to french horn players because it is such a hard instrument to master.

It is a hard instrument to play because the space between notes of the same fingering, called partials, are very close together, making it hard to tell which note is being played. It also takes a lot of air and embouchure strength to play high notes, and even more air to play low notes. Another disadvantage is if you blow to hard your lungs and heart explode

"Cup" style mouthpieces that you purse your lips and blow into, rather than putting your mouth around them.
All brass instruments produce sound by sympathetic vibration of air in a tubular resonator in sympathy with the vibration of the player's lips. All brass instruments are also called labrosones, meaning "lip-vibrated instruments".

Those are all brass instruments, but only the bugle is not from the tuba family.
