Trumpets are brass wind instruments played by the player "buzzing" into the mouthpiece. A player makes a buzzing sound by pressing his/her lips together and blowing "through" them. That sound is then amplified by the trumpet.The instrument can be traced as far back as ancient Egypt when it was used by the military. The pitches are controlled by the "valves" (which change the length of the tube), and the pitch of the players "buzz".
