yes thanks this is more info on the trumpet Musical instruments played an important part in early Japanese warfare. On the battlefield a wide range of audible as well as visible signs were used, the most significant of which was the taiko, a large war-drum. Another instrument featuring in warfare was the horagai which was a conch-shell trumpet. The trumpet was sounded to tell the warriors to put their battle plan into action and could be heard up to 6 miles away! When the taiko was heard on the battlefield the Samurai soldiers knew they had to regroup. In ancient rural Japan the village boundaries were not only decided by geography, but also by the farthest distance from which the taiko could be heard.http://nohmask21.com/eu/horagai.html

Hello, welcome and thanks for the soundsample, I love it!

But there are no plans to have any musical intrument for now, we already have officers and nobori holders, as well as jimi-whatevas for cavalry. And sashimonos. And that horn the general blows when you hit rally, wich sounds actually quite close to what you've provided!
