The euphonium (English: /j u ˈ f oʊ n iː ə m / yoo- FOH -nee-əm; Italian: eufonio; Spanish: bombardino) is a brass instrument with a tenor and baritone voice. It is tuned to B♭, which is one octave lower than the B♭ trumpet or cornet. The euphonium is mainly used in brass, military, and concert bands.
The tuba is a large brass instrument that plays low to very low sounds. It has a cone-shaped tube and usually has four or five valves, though some have three or six. The tuba was first made in 1835 in Prussia as the Baß-Tuba.
The tuba, named from the Latin word for “trumpet,” is a large brass instrument that plays very low notes. It has a wide, tapered shape and usually has four or five valves, though some models have three or six.

A sackbut is an early version of the trombone used during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Like a trombone, a sackbut has a sliding tube that changes length to alter pitch. However, it differs from later trombones by having a smaller, more cylindrical inside tube and a less wide bell.
The valve trombone is a brass instrument in the trombone family that uses valves to change the pitch instead of (or along with) a slide. It comes in different sizes, from alto to contrabass, but the tenor valve trombone, which is pitched in B♭ and one octave lower than the trumpet, is most commonly used. Most models have three piston valves.
The bass trombone is the lowest instrument in the trombone family of brass instruments. Modern bass trombones are tuned to the same B♭ as the tenor trombone but have a larger tube, bell, and mouthpiece to help play very low notes. They also usually have two valves to help play the notes that are just above the very low ones.
The trombone is a musical instrument in the brass family. Like all brass instruments, sound is made when the player’s lips vibrate inside a mouthpiece, causing the air inside the instrument to vibrate. Most trombones use a sliding tube to change the pitch instead of the valves found on other brass instruments.
The alto trombone (German: Altposaune, Italian and French: trombone alto) is the alto type of the trombone family, which are brass instruments. It is smaller than the tenor trombone. The alto trombone usually sounds a fourth higher than the tenor trombone, often in the key of E♭.
