Trumpet

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.

"I love the trumpet solo from the Cavaliers' marching show!"

"That band's trumpet section is phenominal!"

water trumpet

The act of emitting intestinal methane gas, i.e., a fart, while underwater, especially in the bathtub, causing the gas to bubble up through the water only to emerge with increased sound and odor as it hits the air. Playing the water trumpet takes on added enjoyment when one positions one's anus so that the emitted gas tickles up one's backside as it rises up through the water.

Phil enjoys playing his water trumpet while taking a bath with his wife, Sheila, causing her to bolt up and out of the tub, screaming, "PHIL! Stop farting in the bathtub!! It stinks!"

Gideon's Trumpet

A euphemism for the male sexual organ. Derived from the 1974 movie "2069: A Sex Odyssey", which is the first result on the internet movie database IMDB.com when a search is performed for "Gideon's Trumpet". As a euphemism, this phrase has no connection to the book of the same name by Anthony Lewis or the movie based on the book.

Trumpeteer

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!
