The name “brass” historically derives from the stuff which was applied in making these musical instruments. Today people also get to apply copper and silver in the production of brass musical instruments. And some musical instruments with the similar way of sound producing were made from timber in the Middle Ages. Contemporary brass instruments consist of French horn, tuba, cornet, trombone, trumpet and flugelhorn.

An art of blowing a horn or a shell was known in the ancient centuries. Afterwards people learned to do special instruments of metal that were alike bugles. Usually such instruments were used during hostilities, hunting or had some religious purposes.

Hunting horns, military horns and post pipes were the ancestors of modern brass instruments. Such musical instruments might only play natural scale sounds because at that time there weren't valve gear in them. Timbres of sounds were changed with the assistance of the lips of a performer. At those centuries also fanfares and other sounds of hunting and martial destinations appeared. People began to use these sounds in orchestral music because of their natural scale.

When a proficiency of metal working and metal produces production became better, it has become possible to make tubes for wind musical instruments of definite shapes and finishing. Also people created the notion of natural instruments. It happened due to the progress of brass instruments and the betterment of various natural scales playing. There were no valve instruments, that is why such musical instruments could perform only natural scale. It was the age when guilds of trumpeters began to appear. They were divided into two kinds: chamber trumpet-players that gave the performances in castles and marching pipers who were the military players.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century was invented valve gear. It strictly transformed the technique of performance and increased the ability of brass instruments. The point of that mechanism was in adding the crown in the main tube. It transformed the shape of musical instruments and the pitch was lowered.
