Earlier this year, my wife and I were shooting photos around Esther Short Park in Vancouver, Washington, just across the river from Portland. While there, we ran across this gentleman blowing tunes on his trumpet. I have no idea who he is. He was quite good and we enjoyed listening to him. He was the only musician performing anywhere in the park.

Cal, I believe that he is actually playing a cornet, not a trumpet. The cornet, which I played for many years, is shorter and has a sweeter tone than the trumpet.

Walter, you could be correct. It has a different shape than a trumpet and is a bit larger. I was thinking cornet as I looked at it but was not sure. The trumpet and cornet are very similar instruments.
