Best Answer

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.

Three ways: The trumpeter varies the amount of "buzz" from his lips to make the five basic notes of the open tone series (an expert can get more). Secondly, the valves add lengths of tubing to reach other notes not in the open tone series. Lastly, though little used, one loop of tubing has a "slide" in it to alter the pitch slightly for matching with the other instruments in the ensemble.

What is a Concert F on trumpet?

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

How the trumpet has changed overtime?

before the trumpet looked like it looks today, it when through many steps. the trumpet works by the same physics a shofar works on. a shofar is a rams horn that people blow into to make a noise. a rams horn was the first example of a trumpet. over time, people decided to use the physics of a shofar to make an intrument. that was how the first trumpet was made. originally, the trumpet did not have any keys. people played by adjusting there lips and by blowing harder and softer. then, two keys were added to the trumpet to adjust the pitch. eventually people added three keys to the trumpet and learned to play with out adjusting there lips and by pressing the keys. even today, a trumpet still works just the way a shofar works.
