Modern brass instruments contain French horn, tuba, cornet, trombone, trumpet and flugelhorn.

Ancient peoples knew a technique of blowing horns and shells from the very first steps of civilization. Later musical instruments that were similar to bugles were produced when people began to do instruments of metal. Those instruments were designed for martial, hunting and religious purposes.

Hunting horns, military bugles and postal clarions were the ancestors of modern brass instruments. Those instruments didn't have any mechanism and gave only several notes of natural scale. Timbres of sounds were changed with the help of the lips of a player. At those centuries also fanfares and other signals of hunting and martial purposes appeared. People began to use these sounds in musical practice because of their natural scale.
