	Getzen : Trumpet : Specialty
		Getzen is proud to announce two new instruments — the all new 3001MV Mike Vax trumpet and the 3895GB Fluegelhorn.
		The 994 Eterna Bass Trumpet is an ideal alternative to a valve trombone.
		With a rich, mellow tone and quality Getzen construction, the 994 is versatile enough for symphonic performances and durable enough to be used as a marching brass instrument.

		Trumpets pitched in the key of G are also called sopranos, or soprano bugles, after their adaptation from military bugles.
		The trumpet players were often among the most heavily guarded members of a troop, as they were relied upon to relay instructions to other sections of the army.
		The trumpet was slow to adopt the modern valves (invented around the mid 1830s), and its cousin, the cornet would take the spotlight as solo instrument for the next hundred years.

	Trumpet
		Although the bore of the trumpet is said to be mostly cylindrical, it is formed from a complex series of tapers, the smallest being at the mouthpiece receiver, and the largest being at the throat of the bell, before the flare for the bell begins.
		The trumpet is closely related to the cornet and flugelhorn, both of which are more conical in the shape of the bore rather than cylindrical, and have more mellow tones, but are in the same pitch range.
		The first trumpets reputedly came from Egypt, and were primarily used for military purposes, like the bugle as we still know it, with different tunes corresponding to different instructions.

		Historically, the chromatic fanfare trumpets were in four pitches, in high Eb soprano, Bb melody (the same pitch as a standard Bb trumpet), Bb tenor and a G bass instrument.
		The trumpets need to all measure the same in terms of overall length (determined by the length of a stretched Eb trumpet), and within that, the position of the valves and the length of the fanfare bell must also be the same.
		However, the G bass trumpet has in the past given most euphonium and bass trombone players many problems in fingering and transposing music.

		The family of Trumpets has many members, from the tiny piccolo trumpet to the gigantic bass trumpet used in the operas of Wagner.
		The difference is in the sound - the trumpet and trombone have a bright, penetrating sound, while the french horn and tuba have a fuller, mellower sound.
		While it looks very much like a really big round trumpet, it is actually related to the tuba in the width of the tubing and in the way the tubing gets gradually larger throughout the length of the instrument (kind of like the way that a rhinoceros' closest relative is the horse!).
