More on trumpets

Trumpets are wind instruments, which date back to 1500 BC. They are made with brass tubing where you blow wind to create sound. They also have the highest register among the other wind instruments around.

There are many different kinds of trumpets available today. These are:

B Flat trumpets - the most common type of trumpet, which has a key range of F sharp to Middle C to octaves higher. It has a brass mouthpiece, silver keys, with nickel plates. Because of this, it can be quite expensive but still cheaper than other types of trumpets.

Piccolo trumpets - as its name implies, a piccolo trumpet is the smallest trumpet today. Its size is half of B Flat trumpet, but it can play a range of A to B flat. It has four valves, which produce a bright tune.

Soprano trumpets - high key trumpets that comes in the key of G. These trumpets are commonly used in drum and bugle corps.

Bass trumpets - sounds like the trombone, that's why these trumpets are often played by trombonists.

Slide trumpets - instead of valves, these trumpets have slides. They sound like that of a soprano trombone.

Pocket Trumpets - a smaller version of the B Flat trumpet, the pocket trumpet produces a warm sound that definitely counters its size.
