The easiest way to weld brass is to tig with silicon bronze. Multiple passes with admixturing if strenth is needed. If color match is important, it can be tig welded with "bare brass rod". This is not easy to do, but can certainly be done. The zinc, and also some lead will boil out of the puddle. Multiple passes, vigorous wire brushing, and pretend that you can see the puddle. Manual or auto pulse, and actualy dipping the tunsten into the puddle, just as you floor the current. Pulse hard, touch off, add fill at top of heat, back way off. Know that it works and keep at it till you get it.
