Edward Hankins Tarr (born June 15, 1936 in Norwich, Connecticut), is an American trumpet player and musicologist. He has been a pioneer in the revival of Baroque and Romantic era trumpet performance practice. In 1968 the Edward Tarr Brass Ensemble was formed, the only one of its kind – with four trumpets and four trombones. Modern as well as antique instruments were used to perform Renaissance and Baroque music as well as modern works. His wife is the concert organist and best-selling author Irmtraud Tarr. Amongst his students are Reinhold Friedrich and Håkan Hardenberger.
