How do you describe the sound of a trumpet?

Answer 1

You could describe the sound of a Trumpet in a few ways. For example, you could note that it is a cylindrical, mid to high range brass instrument, and draw your auditory conclusions from that. Perhaps you could relate it to the sound a Trombone makes - higher, and without the slide. Usually the trumpet is the instrument people recognize, and someone would compare, say, a flugle horn to it.

Answer 2

In the words of a trumpet player...

"The trumpet is simply indescribable."

However on a more practical note...

The trumpet is a musical instrument in the brass family of wind instruments. It consists of a mouthpiece connected to a system of tubes and valves with a bell at the far end to amplify the sound. The three valves enable the player to change the length of the air-channel in order to create different tones. The trumpet has a very high tonal range for a brass instrument, and skilled trumpet players are highly sought after in nearly all musical genres.

Answer 3

Common words used to describe the sounds made by a trumpet:

• bright
• lively
  
• loud

True, but its much more. It depends on how you play it (it can be low, high or crescendo, diminuendo) and it depends on speed (it can be slow, fast or in band we call them all allegro, andante, moderato, vivace, lagro mezzo forte, mezzo piano, and piano). It's a lot but if you want to play one you need to learn this.
