The trumpet is often the heart and soul of a band. From rich, jazzy melodies to piercing fanfares, the bright and clear-sounding trumpet soars above the other instruments to become the star of the show.
The cornet is a similar instrument. Both the trumpet and cornet are in the same key, but the cornet provides a mellower sound, and is somewhat easier to play. As a result, many beginner students choose a cornet and later migrate to the trumpet.
Like other brass instruments, the trumpet is played by shaping your lips to fit a solid mouthpiece. Notes are changed via a series of three valves, which are controlled with the right hand. Proper tuning is accomplished by adjusting the length of the tubing that makes up the body of the instrument.
Jent’s is proud to carry a wide variety of cornets and trumpets in different keys and for different skill levels. Brands we carry include:
