The trumpet is the musical instrument with the highest register in the brass family.

Trumpets are
among the oldest musical instruments,[1] dating back to at least 1500 BCE. They are constructed
of brass tubing bent twice into an oblong shape, and are played by blowing air through closed
lips.The trumpet is used in many forms of music, including classical music and jazz.A musician
who plays the trumpet is called a trumpet player or trumpeter.

The horn is a brass instrument consisting of about 12 feet (3.7 m) of tubing wrapped into a coil with a
flared bell. A musician who plays the horn is called a horn player.

Descended from the natural horn, the instrument is informally known as the French horn, but
since 1971 the International Horn Society has recommended the horn.[2]
The trombone is a musical instrument in the brass family. Like all brass instruments, sound is
produced when the player’s vibrating lips cause the air column inside the instrument to vibrate.
The trombone is usually characterised by a telescopic slide with which the player varies the
length of the tube to change pitches. A person who plays the trombone is called a trombonist.

The tuba is the largest and lowest pitched brass instrument. Sound is produced by vibrating or "buzzing"
the lips into a large cupped mouthpiece. It is one of the most recent additions to the modern symphony
orchestra, first appearing in the mid-19th century, when it largely replaced the ophicleide. Tuba is Latin
for trumpet or horn. The horn referred to would most likely resemble what is known as a Baroque
trumpet.
