Abstract The family of musical instruments known as brass instruments includes the trumpet, trombone, French horn, and tuba, among others. The ranges of these well-known orchestral instruments are given in Appendix C. If you guessed that brass instruments are made out of brass you would be right, but they are sometimes made out of other materials as well. For instance, the vuvuzela is made out of vinyl. What really characterizes the brass family, as we define it, is that the sound originates with the vibration of the player’s lips in a mouthpiece. Some authors refer to brass instruments as “lip-reed” instruments. Another characteristic of the brasses is that they all have a bell, a flaring end of the horn that radiates all the sound.
