fides trumpets
hey i play Trumpet to but i don't know the notes sorry
Some do, but most trumpets are in B-flat.
Yes perhaps. There are special trumpets called herald trumpets which are the long ones that are used to play fanfares at special occasions. They are essentially an unwound trumpet...
Yes. Piccolo trumpets are trumpets with exactly half the length of tubing as a normal trumpet, which allows them to play a full octave higher.
Any trumpet can play Taps. It is generally a solo or duet piece.
the trumpet can play most notes in music. it all depends on how good the trumpeter is
no, bugles and Bb trumpets are the same. Bugles are just a little more compact then a Bb trumpet
The medieval trumpet you're thinking of would be the Herald Trumpet. It was a natural horn and could only play notes that would be considered "open valve" on today's modern trumpets. In the late 1800's, the cornet was invented. It was like a bugle, but it had valves and slides. A little while later and the cornet was elongated to make the first modern trumpet. Clarion
Usually tuba, trombone, french horn and two trumpets (another trumpet player might play piccolo trumpet)
Trumpets have been used for thousands of years, although they haven't always looked like the ones played today. For example, archeologists in South America recently discovered a trumpet fashioned from a sea shell thought to be at least 3,000 years old. Early trumpets were also made from hollow tree branches and the horns of cows and sheep. Eventually, craftsmen started making trumpets from metal, although the valve trumpet wasn't invented until the 19th century. Early trumpets were used mainly for signaling and for religious ceremonies. Trumpets weren't widely used to play music until the Middle Ages.
A trumpet that plays naturally in the key of Eb. (It can be played in other keys, but the scores are basically musical workarounds.) An Eb trumpet is used mostly by pros. It's harder to play in tune, about 1/3rd smaller than the standard student model Bb trumpet. Eb trumpets are mostly used to play solos.
