Ancient people used brass to produce this kind of musical instruments and that's why the name “brass” came and is still used today. Nowadays people also get to use copper and silver in the producing of brass instruments. And some instruments with the same method of sound producing were created from timber in the Middle Ages. Contemporary brass instruments consist of French horn, tuba, cornet, trombone, trumpet and flugelhorn.
The very first peoples have already invented a technique of playing horns and shells. Later on people decided to do peculiar musical instruments of metal that were similar to bugles. Those instruments were designed for military, hunting and divine purposes.
Hunting bugles, military bugles and post clarions were the predecessors of modern brass instruments. Such musical instruments could only play natural scale sounds because at that time there weren't valve gear in them. A performer changed the timber of sound only with the help of his lips. All martial and hunting fanfares and sounds appeared at those times. They were founded on the natural scale and firmly settled in musical art.
The tubes of diverse dimensions and shapes appeared with the development of metal working that made feasible the productions of brass instruments. Also people invented the name of natural instruments. It occurred owing to the progress of brass instruments and the betterment of different natural scales playing. Natural scale was the foundation scale of those musical instruments because at that time people didn't invent valve mechanism yet. It was the time when guilds of trumpeters began to appear. At that time 2 brotherhoods of pipers dwelled: military trumpeters who played military songs and chambers trumpeters that played in courts.
People made valve gear only at the very beginning of the nineteenth century. The technique of playing was changed due to this invention and the possibility of scales was heightened. The crown that was included to the main pipe changed the form of musical instruments and lowered the pitch.
