This girl plays a musical instrument - I'm not sure which instrument though, so trying a couple out.

Instruments are ridiculously complicated, so I tried exporting lines from sketchup and then redrawing lines as necessary and colouring underneath them. I think the trumpet turned out the nicest (?) though the trumpet was also last so I kind of knew what I was doing at this point ;)

You could always switch it up and have it be a Viola. Then she can have a bit of a chip on her shoulder about always being under appreciated. LOL. (My daughter played viola. And yes, she did have a chip on her shoulder about it.)

I think she's the type of person who's too much of a snob about this sort of thing - if she plays a small string instrument she definitely would pick a violin over a viola XD

No offense, but that is not a trumpet. Judging by the tube's orientation what you have drawn is a cornet. A cornet is a trumpet designed for marching and thus is more square and compact. It also has a different location for the largest slide (The slides are what are used to tune it) and the tube leading up to the bell (The place where it flares out at the end and where sound exits) is above the valves. Finally, I think you may have forgotten to drawn the finger rest. The finger rest is a small crescent shaped piece of brass just in front of the valves where you put your pinkie to give you more leverage when moving slides or just to keep it out of the way. I played the trumpet for about 3 years and can say that there is not really an audible difference in the sound they make. I just don't like how square they are. If you want pictures of my trumpet, I can send you them (If there is a way to do that). Judging from what you have said about the character in replies however, I think the cornet would be perfect for her. She could always get huffy about people calling it a trumpet. (Which, by the way, is something that cornet players (Who know the difference) ALWAYS do)

Just looked at the girl its going to be for and yah, I saw a cornet the second I looked at her.

OMG NVM While fixing my error about the slide in the first comment I thought about trumpets and remembered the piccolo trumpet! Its a smaller, rarer trumpet that is designed to allow the user to play much higher notes than trumpets or cornets! Because of this it has an extra valve (The things you push on top of it) that is depressed to play notes under (I think this is the right note) G. That means it takes much more practice to learn and is VERY desired for by ensembles because it can play insane solos or even play the parts of instruments like flutes. I tried to get one for a while until I stopped playing due to time commitments taking over my time to practice. I think that an instrument like the Piccolo Trumpet would be perfect, or if you can't find a picture of it, a trumpet or cornet (Again, I can provide pictures of a trumpet and the supplies needed to maintain it, or any information needed)

Sorry for the walls of text XD I sometimes get carried away talking about the trumpet. I was very proud of my skill with it and still love it very much.

Great drawing of a trumpet though! I can't even come close to that in mine XD)

Whoops thank you! I am relying on the models that show up in google's 3D warehouse, so I'm guessing someone tagged their cornet model as a trumpet? Thank you for offering photos that's very kind - I think I should be okay though, I'll just need to look up an accurate photo of a trumpet on wikipedia (and other instruments too) and then carefully compare them to the models in the 3D warehouse, so whatever instrument I pick I can depict it accurately :) Google seems to indicate that cornet might actually be a good choice? I know she started music very young and apparently cornets can be better for children? If I go with a cornet though she'll probably play (and own) both it and a trumpet. I think. Still lots of things to figure out with this character (including her name :P)

Aaaaaaan I just replied only to your first comment because that was all Patreon was showing me in the notifications section??? Same thoughts apply though - I'll guess I'll need to be careful with the models I grab from 3D warehouse - I was doing a saxophone earlier this morning and my brother walked past and told me that the proportions on the model I was using are wrong. Whoops XD

Honestly I've tried both before and it really is a matter of how you want to look. The cornet is designed to allow the player to move it around and not screw up the sound, but they are often mass-produced and not as well made as trumpets. For example, I have a trumpet that was made like 50-60 years ago in France by a company that's out of business or closed or just doesn't exist anymore that my parents found at a garage sale years ago is in much better shape than my friend's 15-year-old cornet, even though we take the same care with them. Also, it may not be easy to describe, but there is a difference in feeling depending on which you play. The cornet will feel better if its playing a song with more up-beat, youthful songs while a trumpet will sound very good playing more classical/jazz/blues songs. I think the age thing is purely due to weight and size. I honestly would rather have my kid (If I had one) start out on trumpet, just because there are differences in how you hold them that are very important. Also, the number one rule for playing brass instruments is commitment during songs. If you do give her multiple instruments than I don't want to see her switching them during song. Or at least not without someone commenting on her sounding kinda off. When you warm up, you set your chops (Brass player term for the parts of your mouth used for playing) to the mouthpiece you're using and even changing instruments and using the same mouthpiece (Possible with cornets/trumpets/Piccolo trumpets, they use the same mouthpiece) will make you sound off. On that note, however, there are several kinds of mouthpieces out there that you can look at, such as ones designed for playing Jazz, that can be used. You just shouldn't switch mouthpieces in the middle of a performance. It's not like you can never switch mouthpieces at all, just not in the middle of stuff. Putting in a mute is fine however. Also, if I see puffed out cheeks I will write a heated comment. "Dizzy" Gillespie is just insanely good at the trumpet. You should never do that, it's too hard to play different notes if you puff out your cheeks. Another thing, remember that the chops are a muscle and just like any muscle they get tired. You can also make them stronger with practice, but after a long performance, if it was intense enough, I sometimes could barely talk because my lips hurt to move and my tongue was tired. This will often lead to brass players to often keep their lips constantly moving even while not playing just to keep them loose/used to movement. Also playing with braces hurts like hell. Finally, this a classic trumpet player joke (Just so you can understand the mindset)

"Hello, my name is _____, I'm better than you"

(Holy cow I've written a lot for this XD) In response to saxophone, generally, Alto saxes are very common, tenors are super rare, baritones generally come in twos in bands, and soprano saxes are glorified clarinets.

Woah, thank you! If I do decide to go with a type of trumpet I will absolutely keep this all in mind, I really appreciate it, thank you very much
