Brass instruments are musical instruments made of metal, typically brass, in which sound is produced by the vibration of air through a cylindrical chamber.
Like all wind instruments, these are classified as aerophones, but brass instruments are set apart because the vibrations are caused by the player’s lips “buzzing” against a cup- or funnel-shaped mouthpiece. They are also called labrosones, which means lip-vibrated instruments.
Brass instruments are defined by the way the sound is made and not by whether the instrument is made from actual brass.
The earliest brass instruments were straight or curved open horns made from wood, bone and animal horns. These usually consisted of a mouthpiece affixed to a cylindrical tube that produced only one note. They existed in the earliest cultures of Egypt, India, New Guinea, Brazil and Australia. The shofar, an ancient Hebrew instrument made from a ram’s horn, is an example of one of the very first trumpets. It was first documented in 10th century BCE and is still used in ceremonies today. Similar is the didgeridoo, a lip-vibrated instrument that is thousands of years old and still popular among Aborigines in Austraila.
