[ Low Brass | High Brass | Woodwinds ]
Low brass is definitely the coolest section. With the instruments such as tuba, euphonium, and trombone, the low brass consists of the bottom of the band. The tuba is an upright, valved, brass wind instruments with a folded tube of wide, conical bore. It was designed to fill the band with a bass pitch to compensate for the fluglehorn, the new invention of the time. A Euphonium is basically a small tuba. It looks the same, and a person not in band is usually only able to say it is identical, but smaller. It is smaller, thus it plays higher. It is the tenor clef, like the trombone. Moving on, the trombone is a unique instrument. It is the counterpart of the trumpet. Instead of valves, it has a "U" shaped slide enabling it to play unique tones and pitches of all chromatics.
