Trumpets
Name:Trumpet
Info:A high member of the brass family, this wind instrument consists of a shallow cupped mouthpiece at the end of a long metal tube looped once and ending in a flared bell. Three valves on the top center of the modern instrument are used to change the pitch resulting in a brilliant, penetrating sound. In ancient Egypt it was used as a military instrument used for signaling and fanfares. During the Renaissance and the Baroque era, trumpets were used for musical purposes. Today, the trumpet is a standard instrument in orchestras, bands, and many popular music ensembles.
