Brass instruments

TUBA

The tuba is the largest and lowest-pitched instrument in the brass family. Sound is produced byvibrating or "buzzing" the lips into a large cupped mouthpiece. It first appeared in the mid 19th-century, making it one of the newest instruments in the modern orchestra and concert band. Thetuba largely replaced the ophicleide .[1] Tuba isLatin for 'trumpet' .

TROMBONE

The trombone is a musical instrument in the brass family. Like all brass instruments, sound isproduced when the players vibrating lips (embouchure) cause the air column inside the instrumentto vibrate. Nearly all trombones have a telescoping slide mechanism that varies the length of theinstrument to change the pitch. Special variants like the valve trombone and superbone have threevalves like those on the trumpet.

FRENCH HORN

The horn , also known as the French horn , is a brass instrument made of tubing more than 20 feet(6.1 m) long, wrapped into a coil with a flared bell. The main tubing on an F Horn is ~12 13' long andthat associated with the valves adds additional length to achieve ~20' of tubing overall. A musicianwho plays the horn is called a horn player (or less frequently, a hornist). In informal use, "horn" mayalso refer to nearly any wind instrument with a flared exit for the sound .[2]

CORNET


5/24

The cornet is a brass instrument very similar to the trumpet, distinguished by its conical bore, compact shape, and mellower tone quality. The most common cornet is a transposing instrument in B

. It is not related to the renaissance and early baroque cornett.

TRUMPET

A trumpet is a musical instrument. It is the highest register in the brass family. Trumpets are amongthe oldest musical instruments ,[1] dating back to at least 1500 BC. They are played by blowing airthrough closed lips, producing a "buzzing" sound that starts a standing wave vibration in the aircolumn inside the instrument. Since the late 15th century they have primarily been constructedof brass tubing, usually bent twice into a rounded oblong shape.

PICCOLO


7/24

The piccolo [1] (Italian for "small", but named ottavino in Italy )[2] is a half-size flute, and a member ofthe woodwind family of musical instruments. The modern piccolo has most of the same fingerings asits larger sibling, the standard transverse flute ,[3] but the sound it produces is an octave higher thanwritten. This gave rise to the name ottavino (Italian for "little octave"), the name by which theinstrument is referred to in the scores of Italian composers .[4]

FLUTE

The flute is a family of musical instrument of the woodwind group. Unlike woodwind instrumentswith reeds, a flute is an aerophone or reedless wind instrumentt hat produces its sound from the flowof air across an opening. According to the instrument classification of Hornbostel Sachs, flutes arecategorized as edge-blown.

OBOE

The oboe / o bo / is a family of double reed woodwind musical instruments. The most commonlyused variant, the standard oboe, plays in the treble or soprano range. It is made from a wooden tuberoughly 65 cm (25 inches) long, with metal keys, a conical bore and flared bell. Sound is producedby blowing into the reed and vibrating a column of air. The distinctive oboe tone is versatile, and hasbeen described as "bright" .[1] When the term oboe is used alone, it is generally taken to mean the

standard treble instrument .

STRING

INSTRUMENT

GUITAR

The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as a string instrument with anywhere from 4 to

18 strings, usually having 6. The sound is projected either acoustically or through electrical

amplification (for an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, respectively). It is typically played by

strumming or plucking the strings with the right hand while fretting (or pressing against the fret) the

strings with the left hand. The guitar is a type of chordophone, traditionally constructed from wood

and strung with either gut, nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other chordophones by its

course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed to the

development of the modern six-string instrument .

VIOLIN

The violin , also known as a fiddle , is a string instrument, usually with four strings tuned in perfect

fifths. It is the smallest, highest-pitched member of the violin family of string instruments, which also

includes the viola, and the cello. The modern word derives from the Italian word violino , literally

'small viola'.
