Default Copper difficult to o weld?

Brazing isn't welding. It is "hard soldering". You CAN brass weld
coPper, but it is not commonly done."Brass welding" or "braze welding"
involves melting the copper/brass base metal and adding filler rod
like in welding steel. Brazing, or hard soldering, melts the spelter
ONTO the joint - it does not melt it INTO the joint.

If you're good... Often the melting point of the filler and the base
metal aren't that far apart; if you're not good you wind up with a messy
little puddle.
