For Musicians - instrument related questions
 

Hi, l'm not a musician, have some basic questions "bothering" me:
- brass instruments:
- example - does tenor sax made by distinct manufacturers sound different?
- lf so, why?
- string/bow instruments:
- does the bow have any inflence on the produced timbre (it's wood, hair origins, number of hairs)

Thanks for your time and patience

A tenor sax is a woodwind, not a brass instrument.
