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 one's [[lips]] against the mouthpiece. | A '''trumpet''' is a common [[musical instrument]] in the [[brass]] family, which includes the [[Cornet]], [[French Horn]], [[Trombone]], [[Baritone]], [[Euphonium]], and [[Tuba]], among others.
