The life span of a Trumpet depends on how well it's cared for. A trumpet that is abused constantly will not last very long, 5-10 years at most. A trumpet that is cleaned ocassionally will last longer, probably 20-30 years. If it's really well cared for (i.e. cleaned often, well lubricated, and you don't play it after eating or drinking), it can last for a very long time. I've seen trumpets as old as 50 years still in good playable condition.
That varies greatly depending on how well it is cared for. If it's abused and not cleaned, it can become unusable in a very short amount of time (probably three years before you'd have to have it overhauled). If it's well cared for, cleaned often, and not abused, it could last you for a very long time, upwards of 50-60 years. I've heard trumpets that old that sound beautiful.
It took me three and a half years but it all depends on how often you practice
I'm sure that any professional player will tell you that they are still learning how to play every time they pick up their instrument. The contributor above is very overconfident of their abilities if they think they've learned all there is to know about playing an instrument in three and a half years.
to get good at it.. a few years
A natural trumpet is a trumpet with no valves, and a fanfare trumpet (also known as a Herald Trumpet) is a trumpet that is long. In other words, the tubing is not wound, but straight, so the trumpet is several feet long.
It is called "Taps", and it's on the Bugle. not the Trumpet.

A B-flat trumpet is probably 16 or 18 inches long, but they vary slightly depending on the model. However, the "unrolled" length of the tubing is several feet.
There is no indication as to how long the first trump will last, but assuredly it will last long enough for all peoples of the world to hear it.

James Arthur Brownlow has written: 'The last trumpet' -- subject(s): History and criticism, Trumpet, Trumpet music
I found that the trumpet has been in since 1500 BC
You should put a comma after "instrument" to separate the two independent clauses in the sentence: "My favorite instrument, the trumpet, has a long history."

Anyone can benefit by playing the trumpet, as long as you learn the notes and fingerings. I play the trumpet myself for about a year and it has opened many doors of opportunity.
Too long
You have probably heard somebody talk about the "last trump"? It means a trumpet. A loud trumpet is blown to herald the return of Christ.
You mean Al Hirt?
Trumpet or bugle
