A fanfare trumpet, also called a herald trumpet, is a brass instrument similar to but longer than a regular trumpet (tubing is the same length as a regular Bb trumpet but not wrapped), capable of playing specially composed fanfares. Its extra length can also accommodate a small ceremonial banner that can be mounted on it.

A fanfare has also been defined in The Golden Encyclopedia of Music as "a musical announcement played on brass instruments before the arrival of an important person", such as heralding the entrance of a monarch [3] (the term honors music for such announcements does not have the specific connotations of instrument or style that fanfare does).

Trumpets are the other instruments that provide the higher range in fanfare bands.

At the very top of the range there is usually a soprano cornet or a piccolo trumpet.
