Why do piccolo trumpets have 4 valves?
Almost all piccolo trumpets have four valves instead of three — the fourth valve usually lowers the pitch by a fourth. This extends the low range and provides alternate fingerings and improved intonation for some notes.
Should I get a cornet or trumpet?
As for which one you should choose, that’s down to your own personal musical taste. If you like rousing Orchestral works or a bit of Big Band then the Trumpet will always be your best option. If you prefer the distinctive sound of a good old traditional British Brass Band then the Cornet’s for you.
