Trumpet:
A trumpet is a musical instrument.
It has the highest register in the brass family.
As a signaling device in battle or hunting,
trumpets have a very long history,
dating back to at least 1500 BC;
they have been used as musical instruments
since the 15th century.

Trumpets are used in art music styles,
where they are an instrument in the orchestra
and in concert bands, and in popular music styles
such as jazz.

They are played by blowing air through almost-closed lips,
producing a "buzzing" sound that starts a standing wave
vibration in the air column inside the instrument.

Since the late 15th century they have primarily been
constructed of brass tubing, usually bent twice
into a rounded oblong shape.

Saxophone:
The saxophone is a family of woodwind instruments.
Saxophones are usually made of brass and played
with a single-reedmouthpiece similar to that of the clarinet.
The saxophone family was invented by the Belgian
instrument maker Adolphe Sax in 1840. Sax wanted
to create a group or series of instruments that would
be the most powerful and vocal of the woodwinds,
and the most adaptive of the brass—that would fill
the vacant middle ground between the two sections.
He patented the saxophone on June 28, 1846,
in two groups of seven instruments each.
The saxophone uses a single-reed mouthpiece
similar to that of the clarinet. Most saxophonists
use reeds made from Arundo donax cane,
but since the 20th century some have also been
made of fiberglass and other composite materials.
The saxophone mouthpiece is larger than that of
the clarinet, has a wider inner chamber, and lacks
the cork-covered tenon of a clarinet mouthpiece
because the saxophone neck inserts into the
mouthpiece whereas the clarinet mouthpiece
piece is inserted into the barrel.

Tuba:
The tuba is the largest and lowest-pitched musical instrument
in the brass family. Like all brass instruments, sound is produced
by moving air past the lips, causing them to vibrate or "buzz"
into a large cupped mouthpiece.
It first appeared in the mid 19th-century, making it one of the
newer instruments in the modern orchestra and concert band.
The tuba largely replaced the ophicleide.
Tuba is Latin for 'trumpet'.

In America a person who plays the tuba is known as a tubaist
or tubist. In the United Kingdom a person who plays the tuba
in an orchestra is known simply as a tuba player;
in a brass band or military band they are known as a bass player.
