An art of blowing a horn or a shell was invented in the ancient times. Later on people learned to do peculiar musical instruments of metal that were similar to horns. Those instruments were designed for military, hunting and divine goals.

Hunting bugles, military bugles and postal pipes were the ancestors of contemporary brass instruments.
