The first piston drops a whole tone (two semitones), the second piston drops a semitone, and the third piston is about the sum of the first and second pistons (three semitones, that is, three semitones). Various combinations enable trumpet players to play a complete chromatic scale.

The history of trumpet:
The original shape of a trumpet is a tube with a mouthpiece at one end and a horn at the other end, which can reach several meters in length. This is a high-pitched brass instrument with a cup-shaped mouthpiece, which occupies a leading position in its kind. Trumpet's timbre is generous and loud, and composers often use it to describe war. The Bible says: "The walls of Jericho are not strong enough to resist the sound", and the loud trumpet sound illustrates this point. But when the trumpet is silenced, it will have an almost humorous meaning.
The origin of the trumpet is hard to know. Hundreds of years ago, trumpets were unearthed in the tombs of ancient Egyptian pharaohs. The modern trumpet originated in Germany in the18th century. Haydn, a German composer, wrote a trumpet concerto in E flat major, which is still widely circulated, and gave full play to the performance of the trumpet in his March of the Army.
Since the15th century, the trumpet has an S-shaped curly shape, and it was not until the16th century that it was changed to an oval curly shape similar to the modern trumpet. At about 1770, I had a retractable trumpet, and later I tried to make a trumpet with a key. 1780, Johann Andrea Stantu, a German musical instrument manufacturer, made a trumpet for intubation. 1790 or so, invented a trumpet whose piston can be changed into two tones. 1862, Andiel, an Englishman, reformed the piston and keys, and gradually formed the trumpet and cornet with three pistons that can play chromatic scales. At this point, the trumpet is basically finalized.
Trumpet is an ancient musical instrument, and its first record was mentioned in the pictures of ancient Egyptians and Germanic tribes in the 5th century BC/KLOC-0. This prehistoric trumpet is 56 centimeters long. One end has a conical tube with a diameter of about 10 cm, which is 26 cm after deployment. This trumpet has a simple design and a long-lasting appearance. It was not until the middle of18th century that the key valve was added as an accessory. In the history of trumpet, it was usually used by military departments or religions.

The Spanish invasion of Saracens brought many such musical instruments, such as those used by Christians, which were specially used to scare the enemy. The Renaissance brought the progress of trumpet, such as improving the status of trumpet in the royal court. This instrument is more used as a "musical" performance than just a signal.
The popularity of trumpet can be traced back to the Baroque period, except for the decline of1in the early 8th century. /kloc-the increase of pistons and keys in the middle of the 0/8th century brought new life to the trumpet, which is frequently used in orchestral works. 1827, the piston trumpet appeared in Germany. Until 1862, Andiel, an Englishman, reformed the pistons and keys, and gradually formed the trumpet and cornet with three pistons, which could play chromatic scales. Their development and reform were completed in Europe, the trumpet was mainly in Germany, and the cornet was developed from a French name called cornet de poste.
Traditional trumpet music conveys the feelings of festivals or wars, and is also widely used in the works of Baroque composers such as Bach and Handel.
