Bass Trumpet

The bass trumpet was first developed during the
1820s in Germany. The bass trumpet is quite
similar to the valve trombone, although the bass
trumpet has a harder, more metallic tone.
Composers who have used the bass trumpet
in the orchestra include Arthur Sullivan,
Richard Strauss, Arnold Schoenberg,
Igor Stravinsky, Leos Janacek,
and Gyorgy Ligeti.
