Title: Differences in Trumpets
Post by: Footballer on June 16, 2017, 10:33:57 AM
I'm new to trumpets, so forgive me for my ignorance. Is there a wide variance in sounds between different trumpets? At least with pot calls, sounds and tones can vary greatly by call maker, materials, strikers, etc.

Is the difference in trumpets primarily ease of use or is there a noticeable difference in the sounds too?

Both. They all play or draw differently and sound differently.  Every maker has his own design which influences how the trumpet plays and sounds. Wood choice doesn't seem to matter. I have a few trumpets of the same makers that all sound and play the same. Internals seem to matter most.

Also, I think a lot of it is personal preference and what you get use to. What is easiest for me might not be for someone else.
