The name “brass” historically comes to the stuff which was used in making these instruments. Copper and silver are widely used in production of these instruments today. But centuries ago people who didn't know the technology of metal working used wood for the instruments of the same method of sound producing. French horn, tuba, trumpet, cornet, trombone and flugelhorn are contained to the contemporary system of brass instruments.
Ancient people created a technique of playing horns and shells from the first steps of civilization. Different variants of instruments appeared when people began to produce them of metal. Those instruments were designed for martial, hunting and religious purposes.
Hunting bugles, military horns and post pipes were the ancestors of modern brass instruments. Those instruments didn't have any gear and gave only several notes of natural scale. A performer changed the timber of sound only with the help of his lips. Fanfares and other martial and hunting sounds appeared factually at that time. They were based on the natural scale and firmly settled in musical practice.
When a technique of metal working and metal produces production became greater, it has become feasible to create tubes for wind instruments of definite shapes and finishing. The notion “natural instruments” appeared with the progress of brass instruments producing and the improvement of diverse natural scales. They were musical instruments without any mechanism and could play only natural scale. Guilds of trumpet-players appeared at those times. At that time two guilds of trumpeters existed: military pipers who played martial hymns and chambers trumpeters that played in castles.
XIX century became the age when valve gear was created. This invention heightened the possibility of scales and the technique of performance also changed. The point of that mechanism was in adding the crown in the main pipe. It transformed the form of musical instruments and the pitch was lowered.
Brass instruments are one of the basic sections in a symphony orchestra and they are a foundation of wind ensembles.
