A Trumpet player such as myself would change the pitch of his or her trumpet by increasing the amount of air you blow through your trumpet-this can also be done by tightening your lips Increasing the *amount* of air increases the volume. To change pitch, you change the *speed* of the air. Pressing valves also changes the pitch.
a) Change the length of the pipe by adding a crook or (on a modern valved trumpet) pressing a key. b) Change the resonant mode of the pipe you're using by pinching your lips tighter or looser. Approach B is the only one that works on a bugle, which has no valves or places to add different crooks.
Between those two, the trumpet plays higher.
A concert F on a trumpet is the G note. Since a trumpet is pitched in Bb, trumpet players will always play one note above the concert pitch. Along with that trumpet players will always play in a different key from the concert pitch. Trumpet players will add two sharps to the concert pitch. i.e. If the concert pitch is Eb, 3 flats, then trumpet players will play in the key of F, 1 flat. trumpetman52
trumpet Actually, it depends on the ability of the player. The violin can play up to at least a B two full octaves above B in the staff, andeven though some can,most trumpet players can't play that high.
A trombone uses a slide. A trumpet uses valves. Also, the trombone is pitched lower than the trumpet, and has a different tone quality. If you think of brass instruments as voices, the trumpet is the soprano, and the trombone is the tenor.
