Brass is a particularly flexible metal when compared to bronze or zinc and owing to a low melting point, is a very easy metal to cast resulting in its use for a vast variety of domestic applications. Brass's color is governed by the amount of zinc in the alloy, with more zinc producing a lighter colored metal. The resultant alloy becomes significantly softer as the zinc levels grow, with the softest of brass kinds (white brass) being too fragile for common usage. Brass is frequently used around the house in locations where low friction is necessary, including taps, ammunition casings, locks, bearings, and gears. Brass is most commonly associated with musical instruments such as the trumpet, tube, horn, and, of course, saxophones.
