The trumpet is the loudest and highest pitched member of the brass family often taking the lead voice in an ensemble. It dates back to around 3000 B.C. and evidence of early trumpet instruments has been found on virtually every continent.
Horns/trumpets were known in Ancient Egypt since its very early times. Generally, trumpets in Ancient Egypt always appeared in pairs.

Borrowing from the marching band instrumentation, it was the lead instrument in bands from the 1890s to 1930s that also included cornet, clarinet, trombone, banjo, bass, tuba, drums and occasionally the saxophone which later rose to prominence during the big band and swing eras.
