As the air passes round the bell the vibrations cause the air to vibrate and create a range of sounds from low humming to high pitched whistling. In some brass instruments there are several metal bars attached to the bell which when struck produce different notes and this is known as tension. The length and strength of the metal bars determine how the sound is produced.
