A trumpet that plays naturally in the key of Eb. (It can be played in other keys, but the scores are basically musical workarounds.) An Eb trumpet is used mostly by pros. It's harder to play in tune, about 1/3rd smaller than the standard student model Bb trumpet. Eb trumpets are mostly used to play solos.

The next note above a D is always an Eb.
It is possible to play a high G on the trumpet. You can play almost about any pitch on the trumpet if your lips are tight enough but they let air flow through.
You play a whole step down from the written note. When an F horn player is asked to play a written C, the note that will come out will be an F concert pitch. When an Eb horn player is asked to play a written C, the note that will come out will be an Eb concert pitch. That is why they are called F and Eb instruments. So when an F horn player is asked to play a C written for an Eb horn, in order to play the concert Eb, he will have to play a Bb. You will be adding two flats to your key signature (mentally), and if sharps are in the Eb part's key signature, you will cancel two of them. In the case of the key of G major, where there is only one sharp, you will cancel the sharp and add one flat.
I usually do a high Eb, high c#, and high E

A concert F on a trumpet is the G note. Since a trumpet is pitched in Bb, trumpet players will always play one note above the concert pitch. Along with that trumpet players will always play in a different key from the concert pitch. Trumpet players will add two sharps to the concert pitch. i.e. If the concert pitch is Eb, 3 flats, then trumpet players will play in the key of F, 1 flat. trumpetman52
On a standard Bb trumpet, the fingering for a bottom-line Eb is 12 and the fingering for all higher Ebs is 2.
For an Eb on a flute, you finger a Db but with your right hand pinkie key pressed down. So the fingers you have pressed down are all of them except for your left pointer, and left pinkie fingers
