Yamaha Trumpets

A trumpet is a brass instrument similar to a cornet that is used in a number of musical genres. It plays the highest register of the brass family and is the most popular and most commonly used brass instrument.

Trumpets are most commonly tuned in B♭ and use three or sometimes four valves to change pitch. They can also be tuned to A, C, D, E♭, E, low F and G.
