Sound, Music & Brass  

An introduction to the nature of sound, the musical scale and the basic design of brass instruments.

The following pages were originally written to form part of the website of a brass band.  They attempted to explain some of the basic science behind music and the making of music with brass instruments particularly in mind - and to answer the sort of questions that were not infrequently asked by the people who attended our concerts.

In case others are be interested, the pages are reproduced here in their original format.  To get to them, click on the navigation button at left.
