Thare are several types o trumpet. The maist common is a transposin instrument pitched in B♭ wi a tubin length o aboot 148 cm. Earlier trumpets did nae hae valves, but modren instruments generally hae either three piston valves or, mair rarely, three rotary valves. Each valve increases the length o tubin when engaged, tharebi lawerin the pitch.

A muisician who plays the trumpet is cried a trumpet player or trumpeter.
