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.

Get the Trumpet mug.
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!

Get the Trumpetism mug.
(verb): to bellow, rant, vehemently whine, or otherwise blow out metaphorical hot air. To demand attention, throw a tantrum or have a fit. To fill a space with as much shrill noise & self-righteousness as possible. To lie, loudly & "bigly." To pander to the gullible & rile up the immoral & willfully ignorant. To distract, manipulate & play your supporters like a musical instrument with your tiny, tiny hands.
"Dude... It's 3:00 a.m. & your weird theatre major roommate won't shut up about how his ex stole the his youth & the best years of his life, & how there's some vast conspiracy preventing his success & disallowing anyone to recognize his otherwise obvious genius. Evidently he thinks the world revolves around him?"

"I know, I'm sorry man. Just ignore him, he's Trumpeting, again."
