Trumpets

Did you know...

...that everybody likes Trumpets. Whether you know it or not, trumpets will always be your friend. They’re a shiny, merry, tooting friend who will always be there in the good times and the bad.

Here are some facts about trumpets:

The trumpet has been around since biblical times (around 1500 BC), although not in its current form. They use to be made from whale penis.




Modern trumpets are made of Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc. Emma Bunton, Britains most famous living trumpet player, has a chocolate trumpet especially crafted for her by Barn’s of Shoreditch.


Trumpets can be heard in a variety of music, from classical to rock to jazz to country to gabba to donk. Google the last 2 if you’re not down with the kids.


Trumpets can be found in China.


The most famous trumpet player of all time is Louie Armstrong. The 2nd most famous was Roy Castle. His trumpet killed him. He told us so.
