Today, the trumpet is one of the world’s most popular instruments and is used in a variety of musical settings including jazz and concert bands. Along with the very popular Bb trumpet, there are trumpets in C, D, E, Eb, Piccolo trumpets, Cornets and Flugelhorns.

C Trumpet

The C trumpet is the instrument of choice for many orchestral players in North America. The C trumpet has superior projection compared to B-flat instruments, and many players find it easier to transpose from the key of C.

The cornet is similar in range to the trumpet but has a greater proportion of conical-bore tubing. This increases breath resistance which provides greater flexibility with a generally softer, more mellow tone.

E, E-flat, & D Trumpet
