Fact #1. The trumpet is an extremely old instrument, with evidence of metal versions dating back to at least 1500 BCE. Horns made from natural materials, such as conch shells and animal horns, most likely predate metal versions by thousands of years. Examples of ancient versions have been found in Egypt, Scandinavia, South America, Asia, and China.
Fact #2. The earliest use of this instrument wasn't for recreational music. In olden times, they were typically used for signaling, religious, and military purposes. For example, two early types are both mentioned in the bible. They are said to have been used to blow down the walls of Jericho. In medieval times, trumpeters were essential for relaying military messages across battlefields.
Fact #3. Picking a student trumpet can be difficult. The average person buying one is either a parent who may not actually play the instrument, or an adult who is planning to learn. Either way, this means they generally won't be very knowledgeable about the trumpet.
Fact #4. The first thing to consider is the bore size. The bore is the opening that the air uses to travel. The larger the bore, the harder the musician's lungs need to work to produce a full sound. Adult beginners should choose an instrument with a medium size bore. This is large enough to produce a nice, rich sound.
Fact #5. Something else to think about is the mouthpipe and bell materials. The mouthpipe is the tubing that connects the mouthpiece to the tuning slide. A mouthpipe will generally be made from one of three materials: sterling silver, red brass, or yellow brass. For beginners, a red brass mouthpiece is often the best option. As with mouthpipes, bells are usually made from one of three materials: yellow brass, rose brass, and silver. Rose brass is a good choice, as it helps the trumpet create a warmer tone.
