14 best brass instruments
Brass instruments are a family of musical instruments that produce sound by vibrating air within a brass tubing. These instruments are characterized by their distinctive, bright, and resonant sound. Here's what you should know about brass instruments:
Brass Family:
- The brass family includes a wide range of instruments, each with its unique design and sound characteristics.
- Common brass instruments include the trumpet, trombone, French horn, tuba, cornet, flugelhorn, and euphonium.
Construction:
- Brass instruments are typically made from brass or other metal alloys. The use of brass gives them their name.
- The instruments consist of a mouthpiece, tubing with various curves and bends, valves (in many cases), and a bell-shaped flare.
Sound Production:
- Sound is produced in brass instruments when the player buzzes their lips into the mouthpiece, creating vibrations.
- The vibrations travel through the tubing, which amplifies and shapes the sound, ultimately projecting it out of the bell.
Valves:
- Many brass instruments use valves to change the length of tubing and produce different pitches.
- Trumpets, cornets, and flugelhorns typically have three valves, while some tubas and euphoniums have four or more.
Slide Mechanism:
- Trombones, unlike other brass instruments, use a slide mechanism to change pitch. The player moves the slide in and out to achieve different notes.
Tuning:
- Brass instruments are usually tuned in B♭ (B flat) or C. Trumpets and cornets are commonly in B♭, while many French horns are in F.
Orchestral and Band Use:
- Brass instruments are integral parts of orchestras, concert bands, and marching bands.
- They contribute to the brass section's rich sound, providing both melodic and harmonic elements in ensemble music.
Solo and Ensemble Performance:
- Brass instruments are also used as solo instruments, featuring in concertos and various chamber music ensembles.
Versatility:
- Brass instruments are versatile and can produce a wide range of musical styles, from classical and jazz to pop and rock.
Maintenance:
- Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning, lubrication of valves or slides, and occasional brass polishing, is essential to keep brass instruments in good playing condition.
Learning to Play:
- Learning to play a brass instrument requires developing proper embouchure (lip technique), breath control, and fingering or slide technique.
- Beginners often start with smaller brass instruments like the trumpet or cornet due to their manageable size and simpler playing techniques.
Historical Significance:
- Brass instruments have a long history dating back to ancient civilizations, with various forms and designs evolving over time.
Brass instruments are cherished for their powerful and expressive sound.They play essential roles in various musical genres and settings, adding depth, character, and brilliance to orchestras, bands, and solo performances. Whether in a symphony orchestra, jazz ensemble, or a marching band, brass instruments continue to be a vital part of the musical world.

User questions & answers
Question: | Does it come with mounth piece |
Answer: | Mine arrived just fine..came in a Gemeinhardt box and each flute part was individually covered. Not damage to the cases either. Very happy with it. |
Question: | which trumpet do I buy for a Mexican banda |
Answer: | Yes, flutes are in the key of C. What Amazon is talking about is the actual G key (the button on the flute you press to play a G). This particular flute has an off-set G-key as opposed to being in-line with the rest of the keys. |
Question: | Is it loud |
Answer: | No, it's not considered a "handmade" flute, even though there is a lot of hand workmanship in making it. This is considered a "factory made" flute. "Handmade" flutes are 10X as expensive. The term handmade typically refers more to the level of the flute than to the actual manufacturing process though. Its not like this flute is made by robots on an assembly line like a car is, but it is also not made as slowly as a professional flute costing $10,000, of course. That being said, a really good intermediate flute like this gets 90% of the performance quality of a professional flute. I could play one at Carnegie Hall and no one would notice, though I'd probably perform a tiny bit better with my professional flute. |
Question: | Is this a good kit to start out with? will i sound like herb alpert? any recommendation for a fat guy |
Answer: | No, it is 100% nickel silver (silver plated) excluding the gold lip plate |

User questions & answers
Question: | Looking to buy this for my son trying out middle school band. The band director requires them to have a 5C mouthpiece, will a that size mouthpiece fit |
Answer: | Yes the trumpet comes with a mouth piece. It's a very nice quality beginning instrument. My son is in band and has happily and successfully used this trumpet all year. |
Question: | How should I wash it |
Answer: | The first thought that pops into my head is the Olds "Mendez" model (named for the great Mexican trumpet virtuoso -- He is still considered by many to be the greatest trumpeter who ever lived), if you can find one that's in playable condition and is for sale. If that doesn't work out for you -- and you're still intent upon playing Mariachi music -- you'll want one with good wide, fast vibrato and reverb settings. (Just kidding about these last two, imaginary "features." In reality, you're looking more for a style of playing than a particular brand of trumpet. But do think about bore sizes for the lead pipe and mouthpieces you choose because these can either enhance or diminish the brilliance of tone you are likely seeking for your chosen musical genre or specialty). Good luck to you, because you're going to have a lot of competition -- Mexico has produced so many trumpet players that it's practically the national instrument (which, in fact, is officially the marimba).ADDITIONAL NOTE: I have read somewhere that the Olds "Mendez" was modeled on a 1936 Besson trumpet that Maestro Mendez played prior to the creation (by Olds) of his own signature model. |
Question: | Is the instrument metal or plastic |
Answer: | I seem to recall from a book on symphonic orchestration that the volume of a trumpet is equivalent to that of about eight violins (or about a thousand violas, because these don't play very much). Another fun fact: Did you know that violas are not actually larger than violins? They just appear that way because the violists' heads are smaller. One of my sisters taught middle school orchestra. One of her favorite one-liners during sectional rehearsals was, "C'mon, second violins! If I hadn't wanted you to play, I'd have put you on viola!" (No doubt -- some smart-alec out there is going to tell you that the real difference between a violin and a viola is that the viola burns longer!) |
Question: | compare this to a $3.000.00 trumpet what is different |
Answer: | A) It's probably a better kit with which to start out than to finish.B) You probably won't sound like Herb Alpert for at least the first few weeks, but try to glean energy and motivation from inspiring examples wherever you might find them. ;-)C) For fat guys I would recommend Weight Watchers, bicycling, walking, and/or the gym. I don't think weight determines what instrument you should play, however. We're probably not going to remember such trumpet greats as Maynard Ferguson, Al Hirt, and Arturo Sandoval as "little guys." As long as it's not a threat to your overall health, a little heft can help a wind player as much as it does an opera singer. |
Question: | Does it come with mounth piece |
Answer: | It's not all rose gold. But some pieces are. It's a nice looking insterment. |
Question: | which trumpet do I buy for a Mexican banda |
Answer: | This trumpet has a sturdy medium-large bore, double-braced design using rose brass lead-pipe, rose brass bell for a full, warm sound and clear tone. |
Question: | Is it loud |
Answer: | Excellent, not only for a beginner - also for pro-players! Independent of mouth piece size, it is still good! Worth the money.I just got myself in trouble with a more expensive pre-owned Bach! So you can get my Mendini as is for less 25%!! |
Question: | Is this a good kit to start out with? will i sound like herb alpert? any recommendation for a fat guy |
Answer: | The valve guide is the white plastic piece on the valve. Inside the casings are notches that receive the valve guides and allow the valves to be depressed. The notches and guides are sized so that the valve can fit properly only in one orientation. Each piston has a number engraved on one side above the valve guide. This number helps ensure the valve is inserted in the proper hole and in the correct orientation.

Question: | Would this be suitable for a 7 year old starting lessons and elementary band? or should we get the (non-mini) pbone. difference: bell size? length? w |
Answer: | The positions don't match full size because the mini is an alto. It's in the key of Eb. Probably not a good idea if the 7 year old is trying to learn along with other tenor trombones. But idk if a 7 year old can reach all the positions on a full size. |
Question: | bore size and bell size |
Answer: | 7 inch bell and dual bore Ø 0.485/ Ø 0.500. |
Question: | Do I need to buy a mouthpiece or does it come with one |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is it easy to be carry around |
Answer: | Yes, my 10 year carries it to and from school, it's super light! |
Question: | Perfect for beginner? Good sound |
Answer: | Yes, perfect for a beginner and great sound. |
Question: | Any problem during the transit |
Answer: | Please rest assured that the products are shipped by Amazon. |
Question: | I bought this trumpet yesterday and since I am beginner, i was trying to play and I hear nothing but air. Any idea what is going on |
Answer: | The sound is caused from the vibration of your lips in the mouth piece. Try pressing your lips against your teeth and together. Leave space between your teeth for air to pass through and blow. See if you can make the a high pitch buzz with your lips. Then try to make a sound with just the mouthpiece. Once you get a sound out of the mouthpiece, put it in the trumpet and hit your “middle C” (all valves open). Next try to tighten your lips to make higher pitch tones without pressing any valves. Now your ready to learn the “C scale”. |
Question: | Will this explode |
Answer: | It’s a quality instrument for the price. No it has not exploded, the keys have not gotten stuck, and there hasn’t been any physical damage to the instrument. |
Question: | Is the trumpet heavy |
Answer: | No. Unless you have small hands, holding a trumpet should be no problem for you. |
Question: | Is the caze good quality |
Answer: | Yes, it is a good case. It is not hard, but still protects. It may not look nice, but it does its job well. |
Question: | Is this trumpet Good quality |
Answer: | I am a band director with 10 years of experience and a masters degree in music education. DO NOT BUY THIS INSTRUMENT. It is poorly made and may work for a short time, but once something goes wrong no repair shops will be able to fix it. I have a 6th grade student currently trying to play on one of these pieces of junk and every time he tries to blow in to it, the tuning slide falls out, frustrating the boy and making it impossible to play. Poor quality, poor craftsmanship-- stick with a reputable brand like Yamaha or Conn/Selmer when purchasing instruments. They may cost a little more, but I still have the same Yamaha trumpet I started on as a 5th grader in 1994 and it still works like its brand new. |
Question: | Does it come with mounth piece |
Answer: | Yes the trumpet comes with a mouth piece. It's a very nice quality beginning instrument. My son is in band and has happily and successfully used this trumpet all year. |
Question: | which trumpet do I buy for a Mexican banda |
Answer: | The first thought that pops into my head is the Olds "Mendez" model (named for the great Mexican trumpet virtuoso -- He is still considered by many to be the greatest trumpeter who ever lived), if you can find one that's in playable condition and is for sale. If that doesn't work out for you -- and you're still intent upon playing Mariachi music -- you'll want one with good wide, fast vibrato and reverb settings. (Just kidding about these last two, imaginary "features." In reality, you're looking more for a style of playing than a particular brand of trumpet. But do think about bore sizes for the lead pipe and mouthpieces you choose because these can either enhance or diminish the brilliance of tone you are likely seeking for your chosen musical genre or specialty). Good luck to you, because you're going to have a lot of competition -- Mexico has produced so many trumpet players that it's practically the national instrument (which, in fact, is officially the marimba).ADDITIONAL NOTE: I have read somewhere that the Olds "Mendez" was modeled on a 1936 Besson trumpet that Maestro Mendez played prior to the creation (by Olds) of his own signature model. |
Question: | Is it loud |
Answer: | I seem to recall from a book on symphonic orchestration that the volume of a trumpet is equivalent to that of about eight violins (or about a thousand violas, because these don't play very much). Another fun fact: Did you know that violas are not actually larger than violins? They just appear that way because the violists' heads are smaller. One of my sisters taught middle school orchestra. One of her favorite one-liners during sectional rehearsals was, "C'mon, second violins! If I hadn't wanted you to play, I'd have put you on viola!" (No doubt -- some smart-alec out there is going to tell you that the real difference between a violin and a viola is that the viola burns longer!) |
Question: | Is this a good kit to start out with? will i sound like herb alpert? any recommendation for a fat guy |
Answer: | A) It's probably a better kit with which to start out than to finish.B) You probably won't sound like Herb Alpert for at least the first few weeks, but try to glean energy and motivation from inspiring examples wherever you might find them. ;-)C) For fat guys I would recommend Weight Watchers, bicycling, walking, and/or the gym. I don't think weight determines what instrument you should play, however. We're probably not going to remember such trumpet greats as Maynard Ferguson, Al Hirt, and Arturo Sandoval as "little guys." As long as it's not a threat to your overall health, a little heft can help a wind player as much as it does an opera singer. |

User questions & answers
Question: | What is the size of mouthpiece for this trumpet |
Answer: | 7c Which is a standard size for any student trumpet. I was used to using an 11c for an older strumpet that I bought ages ago. In that day the 11 c was standard. But, I do find the 7c has better range. The 11c seemed to be best for lower tones and not so easy for higher tones as I got better. I think the 7c is a better size. |
Question: | how big is it |
Answer: | Very small. About the size of a piccolo trumpet. I used to have a Getzen Eterna 4 valve. It may even be smaller. It fits into a case that is about one third the size of my Benge trumpet case. |
Question: | What are the dimensions of the case |
Answer: | Case dimensions are: 11 inches by 8 inches by 5 1/2 inches. This is a very well constructed case as well. Padded sides, rigid corners, anti- scuff studs on the bottom, sturdy zipper running almost all the way round, and a zip pocket on the outside. |
Question: | Does this pocket trumpet use the same mouthpiece as a regular trumpet |
Answer: | Yes it does. The mouthpiece that comes with it is OK, but I am using my regular trumpet mouthpiece with it. |

User questions & answers
Question: | What is it made of |
Answer: | Brass |
Question: | Is this something a 6 year old could actually get a tone from |
Answer: | The one I received will only play 2 octaves of b flat. I used to play trumpet and a bugle. You can't play taps on this one and I tried three different mouth pieces. I would say that it would be very difficult for a 6 year old to get a note out. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Where is this trumpet made |
Answer: | If i recall, it was easy, just hum through your lips. |
Question: | Does it com assembled |
Answer: | It was about 10.5" long and 3" tall. I would think it'd be plenty big to be in a photo booth as a comical/fun prop. Definitely not big enough to replicate an actual instrument. I didn't order any of the other instruments, so I don't know what size they are. |
