What instrument is played on the Good Times ringtone?

[Windows Central Question]

I say trumpet, my colleague says harmonica.

I don't have that ringtone listed on my phone. What phone and Windows Phone version are you running?

You'll find that a "low quality synthesized" trumpet will sound very much like a harmonica. As a matter of fact, it will sound as much like a trumpet as a french horn, trombone, harmonica, organ, saxophone, clarinet, etc., as they all are pretty sorry renditions.

A high quality sound font would fix the issue, but free ringtones rarely use the really good stuff, as they generally cost money to produce.

If you can't figure out what instrument it is, then it probably doesn't matter, because it's just a poorly rendered sound to begin with.

Thank you for your eloborate answer. My phone is a Lumia 920 and Good Times is a standard ringtone on that.
