It depends on how much you’re practicing.
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.
Dizzy played the Trumpet from the age of 10 till the day he died. That would be 1927-1992.
Before Louis Armstrong began to play the trumpet he already played the cornet, so it would have likely taken little time to learn the trumpet.
A Bb (B-flat) tenor trombone is nine feet long. That's why it produces a B-flat. Comparitively, a Bb trumpet -- being exactly one octave higher -- is exactly half the length, at 4½ feet.
I found that the trumpet has been in since 1500 BC

5 feet
Not really. The piccolo trumpet was invented in 1890, long after the Baroque and Classical periods in which the "standards" for instruments in an orchestra would have been set. Even modern orchestras generally do not use a piccolo trumpet unless a particular piece calls for it.
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 should put a comma after "instrument" to separate the two independent clauses in the sentence: "My favorite instrument, the trumpet, has a long history."
I've been looking for one of these for a long time myself. Something that you can whistle into and it will make it louder. I play jazz guitar and I whistle fun jazz lines to accompany myself, they way a clarinet or trumpet would. But whistling isn't the best sounding "instrument", and I would love to find (or develop) an instrument that you whistle into to make it sound like a more substantial instrument. Anyone know of anything like this, or have any insight on how to develop one?
