First they came to the Valley of Strings
These stringed instruments live in the Valley of Strings. First, they met the violin. The violin has a total of four strings, which are made by rubbing the bow against the strings. They like ensembles, sometimes in duos, but most of the time they play together as a group. Then they came into the house and saw the cello and some double basses, which they had tuned and prepared for a while, and then they continued on to the world of the horns. They all belong to a large family of brass instruments. In a symphony orchestra, the sound of the horn has the widest range of brass instruments, soft and full, with a touch of sorrow. It can blend well with the sounds of woodwinds and strings, and there are four major instrument families in a symphony orchestra, the largest of which is the string instrument family. Violin, alto violin, cello and double bass. The loudest voices are the brass families, to whom they will also include the French horn
In the world of the Trumpets, they basically perform in groups of four, and sometimes six people are needed. There will even be eight trumpeters playing together, but each of them will have their own melody. I also have my own sheet music. Their voices are all woven into the same piece of music to form a harmonious melody. And each of their horns has its own fixed position, and they rarely switch positions with others.

Then it is further processed, after cutting, grinding and other steps. Let them be a reed. to make these instruments sound sound.
