 | | A brass instrument is a musical instrument that uses a cupped mouthpiece shaped in a way that allows the player's lips to vibrate to generate the instrument's sound. |
 | | Brass instruments are usually, but not invariably, made of brass. |
 | | Similarly, in musical terms, not all instruments constructed from brass belong in the category of "brass instruments"; a notable example is the saxophone, which, although usually made of brass, is a woodwind instrument. |
