trumpet:
A trumpet is a musical instrument.
It has the highest register in the brass family.
As a signaling device in battle or hunting,
trumpets have a very long history,
dating back to at least 1500 BC;
they have been used as musical instruments
since the 15th century.
Trumpets are used in art music styles,
where they are an instrument in the orchestra
and in concert bands, and in popular music styles
such as jazz.
They are played by blowing air through almost-closed lips,
producing a "buzzing" sound that starts a standing wave
vibration in the air column inside the instrument.
Since the late 15th century they have primarily been
constructed of brass tubing, usually bent twice
into a rounded oblong shape.
Guitar :
The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as
a string instrument with anywhere from 4 to 18 strings,
usually having 6. The sound is projected either acoustically
or through electrical amplification.
It is typically played by strumming or plucking the strings
with the right hand while fretting (or pressing against the fret)
the strings with the left hand.
The guitar is a type of chordophone,
traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either gut,
nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other
chordophones by its construction and tuning.
The modern guitar was preceded by thegittern,
the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar,
and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed
to the development of the modern six-string instrument.
Electric guitars, introduced in the 1930s, use an amplifier
that can electronically manipulate and shape the tone.
Early amplified guitars employed a hollow body,
but a solid body was eventually found more suitable,
as it was less prone to feedback.
Electric guitars have had a continuing profound
influence on popular culture.
Violin:
The violin, viola, and cello were first made in the early 16th century,
in Italy. Violins are likely to have been developed from a number of
other string instruments of the 15th and 16th centuries, including
the vielle, rebec, and lira da braccio. The history of bowed string
instruments in Europe goes back to the 9th century with the
Byzantine lira.
The violin, also known as a fiddle, is a string instrument,
usually with four strings tuned in perfect fifths.
It is the smallest, highest-pitched member of the
violin family of string instruments.
