i play the trumpet.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A trumpet is a brass instrument commonly used in classical and jazz ensembles. The trumpet group contains the instruments with the highest register in the brass family. Trumpet-like instruments have historically been used as signaling devices in battle or hunting, with examples dating back to at least 1500\u00a0BC; they began to be used as musical instruments only in the late 14th or early 15th century. Trumpets are used in art music styles, for instance in orchestras, concert bands, and jazz ensembles, as well as in popular music. They are played by blowing air through nearly-closed lips (called the player's embouchure), producing a \"buzzing\" sound that starts a standing wave vibration in the air column inside the instrument. Since the late 15th century they have primarily been constructed of brass tubing, usually bent twice into a rounded rectangular shape. There are many distinct types of trumpet, with the most common being pitched in B (a transposing instrument), having a tubing length of about . Early trumpets did not provide means to change the length of tubing, whereas modern instruments generally have three (or sometimes four) valves in order to change their pitch. Most trumpets have valves of the piston type, while some have the rotary type.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Have you ever played a trumpet or know someone who did?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I used to know a few back in high school"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Historically they've been used as signaling devices, like for battle and hunting - it's only been since the late 15th century they've been musical."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Wow, so they had a lot of uses before becoming instruments"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, I used to know a man that played one with a local jazz ensemble, but I really hated the music to be honest"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I guess it can be grating sometimes"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I guess the way they are played, blowing air through the lips it produces a buzzing sound that starts a vibration inside, so maybe that's why I'm not the biggest fan."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see, maybe you prefer stringed instruments!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Perhaps.
