Trumpets have been used for thousands of years, although they haven't always looked like the ones played today.

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.

What was the frst ever trumpet made?
well, it is hard to say, as they sort of 'evolved.' Numerous early cultures, such as those in Africa and Australia, developed hollow, straight tubes for use as megaphones in religious rites. These early "trumpets" were made from the horns or tusks of animals, or cane. but they changed slowly over the years as people discovered what they could do with them. Trumpets are among the oldest musical instruments dating back to at least 1500 BC. Older trumpets did not have valves; however, modern trumpets have either three piston valves or three rotary valves, each of which increases the length of tubing when engaged, thereby lowering the pitch. if you need anymore info on trumpets, just message me.
