The Trumpet is a member of the brass family of instruments and is played by blowing into a mouthpiece and operating valves to produce the different notes. Trumpets are the highest sounding member of this instrument family and most of them are pitched in B flat.
Trumpets vary a great deal in price and quality and although you can get a far eatern made one at a low price, the quality is usually quite questionable. We prefer the Yamaha range as they have been making quality brass instruments for a long time and find that most brass bands and schools prefer these as they are well made, durable and will last a lifetime if looked after properly.
