How Brass Instruments Work. Brass instruments are any tube that can be played with the lips. They're not always brass, as instruments like the Aborigine digeridoo, and the conch shell, are made of wood, and shell, respectively. However, most modern brass instruments have a long, cone-shaped tube and flaring bell.
The main difference between brass instruments and other instruments is how the vibration to create the sound and notes is made. With a brass instrument the vibration is created by the lips of the musician. By pressing the lips up against the mouthpiece and blowing, a vibration is created. The rest of the horn helps to amplify the noise and create different notes.
