The Trumpet
Trumpet [Fr. trompette; Ger. Trompete, It. tromba, Sp. trompeta]. A soprano brass instrument commonly about 1.4 m. (4 1/2 ft.) in tube length, folded twice to a narrow rectangular shape about 35 cm. (14 in.) long. The trumpet is the highest brass instrument in register, above the tuba, euphonium, trombone, sousaphone, and french horn. A person who plays the trumpet is called a trumpeter or simply, trumpet player. Its powerful tone is created by lip vibration against its cup-shaped mouthpiece. A trumpet consists of a cylindrical tube, shaped in a primary oblong loop that flares into a bell. The brass family can trace its ancestry back to herald trumpets, hunting horns, and military bugles. The valved trumpet was developed in the 1820s. Modern trumpets also have three piston valves as well as small, secondary tubing that act as tuning slides to adjust the tone. Most trumpet parts since about 1900 are written either for Bb trumpet, sounding one tone lower, or for C trumpet at concert pitch. Its brilliant sound has since made it indispensable in a wide variety of ensembles.
