The limiting factor is not the instrument, but rather the person playing it. There is no absolute highest note as far as the instrument is concerned, but I don't know what the highest note anyone has managed to play.

The highest note a composer should write for a trumpet player without consulting them ahead of time is generally a B or C (written) above the staff for a decent orchestral musician. Trumpet players can often play higher, varying from person to person.

I have heard that the highest note recorded on a trumpet was the G above double C; and triple high C has come out, but not as a clean note. Some people claim to have played quadruple or quintuple high C...who knows?

Two words: "Maynard Ferguson"

I don't know. I heard a high note from a guy that is from the blue devils (from a proffesional marching band)

Like most people, I love music. When I was in the 8th grade I thought that I had conquered the world when I was first able to hit the "high C." It always seems easier to to hit the higher notes than the lower notes. My opinion.

I don't know what its technically called - but my son only too often hits it....I call it 'earsplitting'....

It depends more on the player and their air support and lip strength than it does the trumpet it self. I was able to hit E above the staff on a few occasions, but knew people who could go way above that.

My answer to this is that there is no exact note because anyone has a chance of getting to a higher note. For example if I can play the highest note to me that is the highest note. But yet it isn't. I'd say that people that can play their highest can also refer to themselves playing the highest note they can. Making them able to play the highest note. Another thing when youh try and get to your highest note don't ware out your lips because you will mess them up badly. Especially the real high noes like triple G which can badly damage your lips if continuously play it. That's all i have to say. Thank you for reading my letter. I hope mine is able to be the best one!

There is NO highest note on trumpet. The ranges is only limited by the players embouchure and air control.

Maynard Ferguson Prologue: This Is An Orchestra Listen to His Solo A High D (off the piano... octave plus step above triple high c) wow

Whatever it is, Jon Faddis and Maynard have been there already. It's called "the Faddis-sphere" or "Ferguson-sphere". Example: Faddis on "Things to Come" from the CD "They Came to Swing" and almost any Maynard Ferguson uptempo recording from his midperiod. Classical trumpeters are amazed at these jazz guys.

As a trumpet player. I believe there are some notes that no person can produce naturally. My highest note is the F above the 1st C above the staff (I'm only 14). But the instrument itself is made for an infinitive range of notes above and below the staff. It all depends on the strength of the player and there dedication to the instrument (Practice, Practice, Practice). My teacher said that "Repetition is the soul of education in academics and in music, never forget that.". That was when I was in 4th grade. Now in 8th grade, I am a better player by listening to his words and not giving up. Mr. W (My teacher) said that you should "Practice the hard things first and then when you feel good about your work on the hard things, you can do the easier things. Remember, there are no shortcuts to perfection.". A good way to build up muscle in your lip is, as every great trumpet player in history will tell you, PLAY YOUR LONG TONES!! Also the Carmen Caruso Magic 6 (Also known as the Carmine Caruso Method) works well to. It hears. But it works. Like weight lifting for your lips. A good book for practice is the Rubank's Elementary/ Intermediate Method books as well as A tune A Day Book 2
