Which produces the highest sound in pitch a trumpet or trombone?

trumpet


Can a trombone player play the trumpet?

A trumpet player will probably be able to make a sound on the trombone, but a lack of skill in using the relatively large mouthpiece on a trombone will result in a low quality sound at best. Plus, playing a valved trumpet will usually not make for an easy experience trying to learn a slide trombone.For a bit of fun, ask a trombone player in your band if you can try his instrument out. Try using your trumpet mouthpiece to see what it's like.


What is the purpose of the slide on a trombone?

Both the slide on a Trombone and the valves on a Trumpet are to play all of the different notes. (ie: press the 2 and 3rd valve on a trumpet to play G#). music is sound, sound is compsed of "waves" or the peaks and valleys thesound travels, looks like a wave. The longer the distance between the peak and valley, the lower the note/pitch. the shorter the distance the higher the pitch. This is best seen if you pluck a guitar string. You can see the string vibrate to the sound wave. Shorten the lengthen of the string and you produce a high pitch. The slide and vavles do this in the trumpet and trombone. Pressing the valves re-channels or directs the sound wave produce by the player's lips through shorter or longer tubing/distance. The trombone this is done by moving the slide up or down.

What sounds like a trumpet?

You could describe the sound of a Trumpet in a few ways. For example, you could note that it is a cylindrical, mid to high range brass instrument, and draw your auditory conclusions from that. Perhaps you could relate it to the sound a Trombone makes - higher, and without the slide. Usually the trumpet is the instrument people recognize, and someone would compare, say, a flugle horn to it.
