Flute
Like all woodwinds, flutes are aerophones, producing sound with a vibrating column of air.
Flutes produce sound when the player’s air flows across an opening.

Low Brass
A brass instrument is a musical instrument that produces sound by sympathetic vibration of air in a
tubular resonator in sympathy with the vibration of the player’s lips. Brass instruments are also called
labrosones[1] or labrophones, from Latin and Greek elements meaning ‘lip’ and ‘sound’.

Strings
Musicians play some string instruments, like guitars, by plucking the strings with their fingers
or a plectrum (pick), and others by hitting the strings with a light wooden hammer or by rubbing the strings with a bow, like violins.
In some keyboard instruments, such as the harpsichord, the musician presses a key that plucks the string.
Other musical instruments generate sound by striking the string.

Trumpet
Trumpets are used in art music styles, for instance in orchestras,
concert bands, and jazz ensembles, as well as in popular music. Sound is produced by vibrating the lips in a mouthpiece,
which starts a standing wave in the air column of the instrument. Since the late 15th century, trumpets have primarily
been constructed of brass tubing, usually bent twice into a rounded rectangular shape.
