Yes! Before the invention and eventual use of valves (ca 1830), keyed trumpets/bugles were used. These worked much like modern day woodwinds, but with many fewer keys. In the 1830's, a competition took place between keyed and valved trumpets. Needles to say, valves won.
No one knows for certain as it is so old. The oldest trumpets date back to 1500 B.C.E. and earlier. The bronze and silver trumpets from Tutankhamun's grave in Egypt, bronze lurs from Scandinavia, and metal trumpets from China date back to this period.[
