Problem: My son wants to know how a trumpet works

Help!

My son has come back from school and has all these questions about musical instruments. I know how most of them work but I have no idea how a trumpet works.

I have a couple of questions.

What is the wide bit at the end of the trumpet for? Why is it shaped like that.

Also why does it have that weird folded shape?

Do you have any information about how the trumpets were used in war? What is the purpose of them?

Please help, I really don’t want to seem dumb in front of my son.

Thanks heaps

Kia ora Kevin! I can see you are struggling to tell your child what a trumpet is. 

First of all, the wide bit at the end acts like a speaker so it projects out and makes it louder like a trumpet should do. Thats why its shaped like that.

Why it has that weird curvy shape is because it makes the sound more louder and so you can make different sounds with it.

The trumpets were used in the war because the trumpeters were used to warn the battlers when to attack when the commander said to.

There are a lot of purposes for trumpets.Such as, they were used in the war,also the Orchestras for noise making like elephants.
