1. (Mus.) A wind instrument of great antiquity, much used in
war and military exercises, and of great value in the

first natural harmonics; but there are modern trumpets
capable, by means of valves or pistons, of producing every
tone within their compass, although at the expense of the
true ringing quality of tone.
