Contemporary brass instruments contain French horn, tuba, cornet, trombone, trumpet and flugelhorn.
Ancient people knew a technique of blowing horns and shells from the first steps of civilization. Later on people learned to do peculiar instruments of metal that were similar to horns. Those musical instruments had different purposes. Usually they were used in military, hunting and divine purposes.
Today's brass instruments came from hunting horns, martial bugles and post clarions. Valve mechanism wasn't invented at that time and those instruments could produce only natural scale. Different timbres of sounds were played only with the help of lips of a player. All martial and hunting fanfares and signals appeared at ancient centuries. The natural scale was the basis of these sounds and people began to apply them in musical practice.
