Trumpets are the highest buzzed-lip or "brass" instruments. Their timbre is very bright and they can be very loud.
The trumpet is also an effective melodic instrument, and different playing styles can suggest jazz or mariachi for example.
The timbre of the trumpet can be varied by inserting objects known as mutes into the bell. Mutes are generally made of metal or cardboard and are often associated with jazz.
