'''Trumpet major''' is an appointment in [[British Army]] [[cavalry]] [[regiment]]s or the [[Royal Horse Artillery]], held by a [[sergeant]] (or [[corporal of horse]] in the [[Household Cavalry]]) or a [[staff sergeant]] (or [[staff corporal]] in the Household Cavalry) or [[warrant officer class 2]]. His job is to supervise the training and deployment of [[Trumpeter (rank)|trumpeters]] who blow daily duty and ceremonial calls. Trumpet majors were first appointed to the establishment in 1811.<br />
<br />
The [[trumpet]] was originally a signalling instrument, but it has become purely ceremonial since the [[invention of radio]].<br />
<br />
The insignia of appointment is four point-up [[Chevron (insignia)|chevron]]s worn on a wrist-strap whilst in shirt-sleeve order, or four large point-up chevrons worn on the uniform sleeve, surmounted by crossed trumpets. Staff sergeants (or staff corporals) have a small crown above the trumpets and warrant officers class 2 have a larger crown.<ref>[https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/626107/2017-03109.pdf British Army Dress Regulations]</ref><br />
