		Brasses are wind instruments made of brass or other metal in which sound is produced through vibration of the lips, and pitch is controlled by lip pressure as well as adjustment of the length of the sound tube by means of valves, a slide, or changeable sections of pipe called crooks.

	Rudall, Rose, Carte & Co - the eight key flute years
		Marks on remaining instruments seem to suggest that slots for keys were cut by a guided scraping tool, probably not dissimilar to a modern metal lathe cross slide.
		The information above is largely taken from Langwill's Index of Musical Wind Instrument Makers.
		While occasional instruments were made up to and beyond the turn of the century, the period 1820 to 1860 probably encompass the eight key's early golden years.

	Sleeve Notes - Classical Trumpet Concertos
		In recreating the soundworld of Haydn and Hummel by using the solo instrument for which they wrote their unique trumpet concertos, amongst all the many remarkable features of the keyed trumpet what is perhaps most notable is the sweetness of the instrument’s sound, and its resultant ability to blend with all the orchestral wind instruments.
		Some English trumpeters were using a mechanical device on their instruments where a retractable tuning slide both corrected imperfect intonation and doubled the number of notes available on the limited scale of the ‘natural’ trumpet.
		Composers such as Bach stretched the capabilities of the ‘natural’ instrument to its furthest regions and, as the Baroque era came to its end, players began to experiment with instruments that could provide a wider range of notes, and especially the chromatic notes that the natural instrument could not provide.

	How to Make Yourself a Hall's High-Tech Slide Bazooka
		The bazooka is a low-pitched, chromatic, lip reed wind instrument characterized by a brassy, whiny, and punchy tenor-to-bass sound.
		But it is true that despite the bazooka’s distinctive tone, fairly wide range, and it's ease of use in the hands of virtually any competent low brass player, it has been taken up to date by very few musicians.
		The bazooka musical instrument came along years before the weapon by the same name--perhaps as early as 1905.

	Trombone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There is usually one bass trombone player in a standard symphony orchestra, and they are also often seen in swing bands, wind ensembles, and a variety of brass groups.
		The trombone (unlike most brass instruments) is not normally a transposing instrument and reads the bass clef (especially bass trombones), although it is common for trombone music to be written also in tenor clef, or alto clef.
		The detachable mouthpiece is inserted into the slide section which consists of a lead-pipe, inner and outer slide tubes, and bracing.

	Getting Started On Uilleann Pipes
		Remember that a tin whistle is easier to play, has no great finger stretch, costs between $6-$12 and for the same amount of time invested you will be able to play circles around any other wind instrument on Earth.
		It can be tuned to a clear 4th or 5th interval, or in unison by moving the slide.
		The Uilleann Whistle Chanter plays in the key of A and in the key of D. We use pipe fingering, which is similar for both Uilleann Pipes and the Great Highland Pipes.

	Baroque Music - Brass
		Brass wind instrument with a cylindrical bore, a cup-shaped mouthpiece, and a slide mechanism.
		The bell joint could be fitted with crooks to change the pitch, and the slide joint often had a hinged handle attached to the stay that enabled the player to slide it further than the length of the arm.
		The pitch was lowered as the player extended the slide away from the mouthpiece.

	The Sackbut
		While with the sackbut one holds the instrument still and moves the slide, the slide trumpet conversely requires the movement of virtually the whole instrument to change the pitch of a note.
		The 17th century polymath Michael Praetorius described the sackbut as the "wind instrument par excellence in concerted music of any kind".
		The sackbut's versatility also derives from the fact that it could be played quietly enough to accompany solo voices, violins and even flutes, while the same instrument could accompany the shawms and cornetts in tower music and parades.

	Sackbut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The sackbut replaced the slide trumpet in the 15th century alta capella wind bands that were common in towns throughout Europe.
		The sackbut derived from the medieval slide trumpet.
		The term sackbut is used to differentiate the historic instrument from its modern counterpart.

	The Brass Bow Music Co.
		Instrument tubing and tone holes are drawn to size and bells are spun, while slide crooks, braces, and keys on wood wind instruments are hydraulically formed: these parts are finally brazed and soldered together to form an instrument.
		The reason many instruments do not offer these characteristics is in part due to the stress created in the instrument during the manufacturing process.
		When the instrument is hammered and bent into shape, the atoms can get pushed apart (stressed) or whole planes can get knocked out of alignment (dislocation), as shown left.

	Slide whistle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A slide whistle (variously known as a swanee whistle, piston flute or less commonly jazz flute) is a wind instrument consisting of a fipple like a recorder's and a tube with a piston in it.
		The slide whistle is today thought of primarily as a kind of "toy" instrument, but has been used by classical composers, with Maurice Ravel possibly being the first, when he called for one in his ballet, L'enfant et les sortilèges.
		The slide whistle is most commonly used as a sound effect (such as in the sound tracks of animated cartoons, when a glissando can suggest something rapidly ascending or falling), but it is also possible to play melodies on the slide whistle.

	Welcome to the world of Leblanc
		The company continued to expand, and in 1917 Holton moved his company to Elkhorn, Wisconsin, where it has remained as the country’s oldest continually operating wind instrument company.
		The turn of the century foretold a new age in brasswind instrument craftsmanship when Frank Holton opened his third-floor two-room Chicago shop in 1898.
		By 1900, the Frank Holton Company was producing several models of trombones, cornets, trumpets and euphoniums, as well as percussion instruments.

		Jones is unhappy with the progress and workmanship of the builders, with whom he has struck up a personal relationship based on wind-ups, mind games and sometimes humiliation.
		Finally, the opening track of the Willie Dixon composed 'Little Red Rooster' as covered by session musicians who unerringly replicated the spine-chilling sound of Brian Jones's slide guitar which at the time was unheard of and rarely performed in the UK.
		A naturally skilled musician with the ability to master any instrument of his choosing and the ambition to expand his horizons, he composes the score for A Degree of Murder, a 1967 film starring Pallenberg, and records the music of Moroccan villagers for an album titled The Pipes Of Pan At Jajouka.

		Trombone, brass wind instrument with a cylindrical bore, a cup-shaped mouthpiece, and a slide mechanism.
		Trombones with valves were introduced in the 1800s but were judged inferior in tone.

	Sackbut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The sackbut replaced the slide trumpet in the 15th Century alta capella wind bands that were common in towns throughout Europe.
		It also was used in church music both for instrumental service music (brought to a fine art by the Gabrieli family in late- 16th Century Venice) and as a doubling instrument for choral music.
		Its dynamic flexibility lends itself to a vocal style of playing and facilitates effective shaping of phrases.

		The soprano instrument was the keyed bugle, whose ancestor is the Renaissance cornetto.
		This was the ordinary trumpet of the Baroque and Classical periods but fitted with a retractable, spring-loaded slide which served to correct the defective intonation of the eleventh and thirteenth harmonics.
		We have used a variety of instruments to render the part: a two-valved Pace trumpet for the Française, a Köhler cornopean equipped with three Shaw disc valves for the Schwert-Tanz, and a keyed trumpet for the Grave, and Tema con variazioni.
