Brass instruments in arabic music
Arabic music contains what are called microtones. These are notes that are situated in between the notes found in the chromatic scale that the majority of Western music uses.
The term “Arab music” is, of course, an oversimplification. The Arab world is formed, by some analyses, of 22 nations, and each has its musical traditions, instruments, and tonal preferences.

Nezar Omran
"I play the Trumpet with a special voice and timbre, and specialized in oriental music and playing quarter tones and oriental Maqam on the ordinary trumpet. I work on playing simple musical improvisations that can address the emotions and affect the imagination of the listener, like simple repeated phrases or motives which have cumulative effect like in woolen music."
