Brass instruments are one of few instrument families lending itself to classical music whilst still being considered just as important in popular music today.
The trumpet has been idolised from the 1700s featuring in Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in E Flat, and has been a virtuoso tool of improvisation for Jazz legends such as Miles Davis while providing hook lines for Reggae, Rocksteady & Ska bands such as Madness and The Specials since the 1980s.
Controlled by valves, slides and varying tension of the players lips, brass instruments are capable of thundering fanfares and intricate melodies. If you enjoy these timeless instruments, look no further than your local PMT showroom.
