Definition
布拉斯 (bù lā) is a transliteration of the English word 'brass', typically used in the context of brass instruments (铜管乐器). It is a specialized musical term, not a general word for the metal 'brass' (which is 黄铜). You'll encounter it in music-related discussions, such as 布拉斯乐队 ('brass band') or 布拉斯组 ('brass section').
