Alloy of copper and zinc containing more than 50 per cent of the former (5)

I believe the answer is:

brass

(Other definitions for brass that I've seen before include "Yellow alloy" , "section of orchestra" , "Gall" , "Zinc-copper alloy - cheek" , "Alloy; money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
