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, literally meaning "lip-vibrated instruments".

Woodwind instruments are a family of musical instruments within the more general category of wind instruments.

There are two main types of woodwind instruments: flutes and reed instruments (otherwise called reed pipes).

What differentiates these instruments from other wind instruments is the way in which they produce their sound.

Examples are a saxophone, a bassoon and a piccolo.

A percussion instrument is a musical instrument that is sounded by being struck or scraped by a beater (including attached or enclosed beaters or rattles); struck, scraped or rubbed by hand; or struck against another similar instrument.

The percussion family is believed to include the oldest musical instruments, following the human voice.

An orchestra (or) is a large instrumental ensemble typical of classical music, which features string instruments such as violin, viola, cello and double bass, as well as brass, woodwinds, and percussion instruments, grouped in sections.

Other instruments such as the piano and celesta may sometimes appear in a fifth keyboard section or may stand alone, as may the concert harp and, for performances of some modern compositions, electronic instruments.

A concert band, also called wind ensemble, symphonic band, wind symphony, wind orchestra, wind band, symphonic winds, symphony band, or symphonic wind ensemble, is a performing ensemble consisting of members of the woodwind, brass, and percussion families of instruments, along with the double bass or bass guitar.

On rare occasions, additional non traditional instruments may be added to such ensembles such as piano, harp, synthesizer, or electric guitar.
