A brass instrument with three valves and a conical bore. It plays in treble clef and has a range of roughly two and a half octaves, from F# below the staff to C above the staff. The trumpet is widely used in many musical scenarios, and is very prominent in wind ensembles, orchestras, jazz bands and brass ensembles.
Though the instrument generally has a range of two and a half octaves, many trumpet players extend their range "into the stratosphere", sometimes even above the High C.
The sound of the trumpet is noble and brilliant, and is capable of great power and energy, yet is also able to produce beautiful, sonorous melodies. The trumpet is prized for it's flexibility, dexterity, and power of sound.
There are several instruments that have developed from the trumpet, including the flugelhorn, cornet, and piccolo trumpet.
Some famous trumpet players include Adolph Herseth, Allen Vizzutti, Wynton Marsalis, Sergei Nakariakov, Maynard Ferguson, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, and Louis Armstrong.

Any person who supports Donald Trump by posting somewhat false, ignorant, misinformed, anti-liberal memes on facebook or through any other social networking site only after he won the election. A trumpeteer never engaged in discussions or debates and never showed any interest in politics prior to Trump winning.
The trumpeteers keep flagging my progressive, liberal posts, because they are too stupid and racists to join a debate!

The most brilliant and spectacular of all musical instruments. People hear one note of the trumpet, and instantly recognize the superiority displayed by the instrument and the player. People diss trumpet player egos, but everyone knows it's just jealousy. The trumpet is the instrument of God.
All trumpet players are perfect.
