trumpet

A trumpet is a brass musical instrument with a bright, bold sound. It consists of a long, coiled tube that widens into a bell at the end. The player produces sound by buzzing their lips into a mouthpiece, creating vibrations that travel through the instrument. By pressing valves, the musician changes the length of the tubing, altering the pitch. The trumpet is commonly used in orchestras, bands, and jazz ensembles for its powerful tone and versatility in playing melodies across a wide range of notes.
