No one knows for certain as it is so old.

The oldest trumpets date back to 1500 B.C.E. and earlier. The bronze and silver trumpets from Tutankhamun's grave in Egypt, bronze lurs from Scandinavia, and metal trumpets from China date back to this period.[

How much is a Besson model 600 Cornet worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on too many factors to answer this. But I will try.

Things like :

  • Age
  • Quality
  • Rarity
  • Condition

Will determine the price of the instrument. What i can say is that the Besson 600 is not a collectors trumpet by any stretch of the imagination. Its a student horn and if you purchased an equivalent one it would cost around £400-600 brand new.

Therefore if you assume it is in pristine condition divide that value by a third for the second hand price. About £150 - 200 pounds.

Is it easier to play the trumpet or the mellophone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends. The trumpet uses less air, but it takes alot to get high notes. And same goes for mellophone. They are heavier than trumpets and lower in some volume, notes wise. Like, if you played french horn, it would be easier to play mellophone because it is in the same range with fingerings and air volume. Trumpets are the same throughout. But in conclusion, they are pretty much the same. The only difference is sound and weight.

How do you transpose from trumpet to French horn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You play a whole step down from the written note. When an F horn player is asked to play a written C, the note that will come out will be an F concert pitch. When an Eb horn player is asked to play a written C, the note that will come out will be an Eb concert pitch. That is why they are called F and Eb instruments. So when an F horn player is asked to play a C written for an Eb horn, in order to play the concert Eb, he will have to play a Bb. You will be adding two flats to your key signature (mentally), and if sharps are in the Eb part's key signature, you will cancel two of them. In the case of the key of G major, where there is only one sharp, you will cancel the sharp and add one flat.

Asked by Wiki User

to empty the one on the main tuning slide, just hold the lever, or push the button, depending on the kind of spit valve you have, and blow air into the trumpet. To empty the one on the third valve slide press all three valves down, and push the lever/button on the spit valve, and blow air.

Which section of the orchestra play's the most important part in the music?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the piece, but in my music the violin is the melody while the bass, cello and viola are the harmony.

Depends on the musician, too. Ask the violinist this question and s/he will say the violin. Ask any other instrumental part and invariably they will claim "their part" is the most important one. Truth be known, collectively every musician, no matter what instrument or part they play, contributes equally to the end result, so, in effect, every section is the most important part.

Where did the trumpet get its name?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The word trumpet comes from the 14th century and is a variation of the word triumph. Throughout history, trumpets have been associated with three things: signaling armies, splendorous music for royalty, and in religious rituals. The main purpose of trumpets in the 14th century was as a signaling device to convey orders to soldiers in the midst of battle so that the army could triumph over their enemy.

When you play an instrument what happens to the air inside?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on the type of instrument, the air moves in a variety of ways to create various sounds.

In a woodwind instrument the air is directed by a mouth contact point (Saxophone = Neck, Flute = Lip Plate, Clarinet = Barrell). The air must be directed properly causing it to bounce back and forth along the body of the instrument. At the points of air contact, you will find holes. The various pitches are created by the hole remaining open or being sealed off via a pad made usually of felt covered in leather or fish bladder.

In a brasswind instrument the air is used differently. A brasswind instrument is constructed of various tubing diameters and lengths. As the air travels through the instrument valves are depressed which allows the air to pass through the correct tubings and make it's ay out of the bell of the instrument. The larger the tubing and the longer path that the air must travel to reach the bell, the lower the pitch that is created. These pitches can be fine tuned by using adjustable slides. Pulling the slide out will flatten (lower) the sound pitch. Pushing the slide in will sharpen (increase) the sound pitch.
