Brass instruments go flat when cold because the metal shrinks slightly when cold causing the pitch to go flat. It is similar to the effect of pushing in a tuning slide when the instrument's pitch is sharp (it shortens the length of the instrument).
As the instrument warms, the metal expands, raising the pitch similar to pulling out the tuning slide.

What brass instrument plays the deepest sound?
there isn't one set in stone but the human ear picks up higher sounds easier so it sounds like trumpets are loudest mostly, it just really depends on how much air you blow through the instrument.
Are trombones safe when exposed to cold temp erature?
It's fine for any brass instrument to be exposed to frigid temperatures. However, if the instrument is played while cold, the tone will be extremely flat. To accommodate for the flatness in tone, move your tuning slide in until the instrument is warmed up.

Why is it necessary to tune wind instruments?
I think most or all instruments need tuning. Wind instruments need tuning because the sound can be sharp or flat. If you're playing in a band or ensemble, it sounds a lot better if all of the instruments are tuned. That way, the notes sound the same. If you have heard a note and its flat played together, it probably doesn't sound good. If one of the instruments is flat, that is what that part of the music will sound like. I play the clarinet, and we have to pull out at the barrel of the instrument if it is sharp to lengthen the instrument. If it is flat, we push the barrel in or tighten our embouchure to make the instrument shorter or fix the sound. I'm not sure if all instruments tune that way, but that's what I know. I hope this helps you. If you're playing a wind instrument, I hope you are successful! :)

How is sound generated by a clarinet?
This is a question with several answers: The vibration of the reed causes sound to be created against the mouthpiece, because it is hollow the sound moves through the mouthpiece and into the neck. the sound moves down the body and comes out the first open hole it comes across. The only time it comes out of the bell is when you close all pads (either a low E-flat or a low C). This is an important difference from brass, in a brass instrument the sound ALWAYS comes out of the bell, on the Bass Clarinet (and all other woodwinds), it comes out of the holes. This is important if you ever use a microphone to record yourself, on a brass instrument, you just aim at the mic and you're good to go, on woodwinds you have to place the mic half way down the body and a short distance away (2-3ft) so the sound can be captured evenly. So with that in mind, the final answer is "all sorts of places" every time you change your fingers, the sound comes out of a new hole.
