The Best Trumpets
I recommend this trumpet
LJ Hutchen Bb Trumpet with Case- 2 Year Warranty
An LJ Hutchen trumpet is significantly different from other brands. This instrument allows young musicians to learn without the frustration that comes with playing a poorly designed product. The materials used throughout the LJ Hutchen trumpet are simply the best that money can buy.
Types of trumpets
Pocket trumpet: Something of a novelty, the pocket trumpet has the same playing range as the regular trumpet. The tubing is wound much more tightly, so it has a much more compact size. Dates to the 1860's.
Cornets: A cornet is an instrument that looks very much like a trumpet, but the tube gradually increases in diameter from the mouthpiece to the bell. The sound it produces is more mellow than a traditional trumpet, and is quite a bit smaller also.
Bugles: Small brass horn with no valves. The name 'bugle' means 'young bull' in French, and early versions were made from bull horns. Because it has no valves, it has a limited playing range, and is used mostly for military calls.
Flügelhorns: Similar in size and shape to the trumpet, but has a larger bell and a conical tube (bore) like the cornet. The flügelhorn originated in 18th century Germany as a hunting horn, and the person who played it was reponsible for directing different hunting phases. Later was used in military applications.
