What is the difference between a renaiissance trumpet and a modern trumpet?

Actually, the modern trumpet wasn't invented until the late 19th century. The type of horn style trumpet with no valves was invented much earlier. The old battle horns are the same thing, except made from a horn not brass. The trumpet design originally had keys the same way a clarinet would. This instrument had a sound that was deeper and not as bright. When the modern trumpet with valves was made, the players of the old style absolutely hated it. Consequently the cornet was created, for those old players who liked the darker sound.

A trumpet player such as myself would change the pitch of his or her trumpet by increasing the amount of air you blow through your trumpet-this can also be done by tightening your lips Increasing the *amount* of air increases the volume. To change pitch, you change the *speed* of the air. Pressing valves also changes the pitch.

What part of a trumpet vierbrates to make a sound?

This is a matter of discussion. Your lips are used to set up a sinusoidal pressure wave in the trumpet, but nothing in the trumpet tubing vibrates to produce the sound. Modern testing shows that the pressure forms into "standing waves" which produce the sound when they hit the bell area where the standing waves are amplified to reproduce the pressure waves again.

How long does a trumpet last?

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.

Trumpets are one of the most versatile instruments. Because they can be played in a variety of manners and with a variety of techniques and sounds, they can be played in a variety of musical settings, such as:

Orchestra/Symphony/Concert Band

The trumpet is used widely in the orchestral, symphonic, and especially concert band realms. Many of the great composers wrote works for the trumpet that have grown to great fame. Some of these pieces include trumpet Concerto in E Flat by Haydn, and Trumpet Voluntary and Trumpet Tune and Air, both by Purcell

Rock/Pop

Trumpets have been featured in rock and pop for many years now. From the Beatles's major hit "Penny Lane" (1967) with its famous piccolo trumpet solo, to The Emotions's "Best of My Love", released in 1977, to Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" released in 1986, to many of the Motown hits, the trumpet is widely used both as a backup instrument and to play melodic interludes.

Mariachi

A Mexican cultural standard which has gained fame across the Western Hemisphere is the genre called "Mariachi". Mariachi, used for celebratory occasions, such as weddings, are small, mobile ensembles, composed of several violins, a guitar, a vihuela(a higher pitched, Mexican guitar), a guítarron (a small version of the acoustic bass), and two trumpets. A famous Mariachi piece that features the trumpet and is known internationally is "La Cucaracha".

Jazz

Undoubtedly, the genre in which the trumpet is most widely and prolifically used is Jazz. Some of the most influential Jazz artists of all time have been trumpet players - trumpet players like Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, and Wynton Marsalis. Trumpets can be found in every subgenre of Jazz, from Ragtime and Dixieland, Big Band and Swing, Bebop and Free Jazz, to the more modern Jazz Fusion and Smooth Jazz genres.

Some of the most notable Jazz pieces feature trumpets playing the melody, or memorable licks. Examples inclue "Sing, Sing, Sing", "Four", "So What", "In the Mood", "Jeepers Creepers", "April in Paris", "Autumn Leaves", "Stompin' at the Savoy", "Gonna Fly Now", "Skyliner", and countless others.

The medieval trumpet you're thinking of would be the Herald Trumpet. It was a natural horn and could only play notes that would be considered "open valve" on today's modern trumpets.

What is the best trumpet for an award winning marching band?

Any Bach mouthpiece. I have been playing with them for years and they have never let me down.

Trumpets do not have a built in mouthpiece because not all mouthpieces work as well as others for different people. There are many very good mouthpieces. The best mouthpiece is the one that fits your mouth the best. IE: If you have thin lips, a deep/wide mouthpiece probably won't work well for you. If you have thick lips, a shallow/thin mouthpiece probably won't work well for you. Bach, Schilke, Monette, and several other companies make very good mouthpieces.
