How are the differences (sound) in an instrument like a trumpet produced?

Asked by lucillelucillelucille (34325points) November 7th, 2019

When they are made do they change the thickness of the metal to produce a specific tone or are their strict standards for the manufacture of these horns?
Even allowing for differences in embouchure,would Miles Davis be able to sound like Chet Baker on his own horn or would he have to use Chet’s to get his sound?
