   Brass
   Brass instruments are made of brass or some other metal and make sound when air is blown inside. The musician's lips must buzz, as though making a 'raspberry' noise against the mouthpiece. Air then vibrates inside the instrument, which produces a sound. Brass instruments include trumpet, trombone, tuba, French horn, cornet, and bugle.
