A '''trumpet''' is a common musical instrument in the [[brass]] family, which includes the [[Cornet]], [[French Horn]], [[Trombone]], [[Baritone]], [[Euphonium]], and [[Tuba]], among others.  It is the highest sounding member of the group because it has the shortest pipe.  Sound is made by vibrating the [[lips]] against the mouthpiece.

The trumpet's roots go back to ancient [[Rome]], when simple bugles (trumpets with no valves) were used for fanfares.  The instrument type had a revival in the [[Rennaissance]], when music became popular once again.  Throughout the 16th through 19th centuries the design was refined to include valves and a standardized size.
