a B flat Trumpet will tune to an A by playing a B. A C trumpet will tune to an A by playing an A.
tubas have multiple slides, and one tuning slide
A reverse tuning slide allows the air to flow smoother through the tuning slide area of the trumpet. In most trumpets, the top end of the tuning slide fits into the leadpipe creating a small obstruction where the air meets the rim of the tuning slide (inside the leadpipe). On a reverse tuning slide, however, the tuning slide fits over the leadpipe, eliminating that obstruction and allowing the air (in theory) to flow smoother.
The bore of a trumpet varies. One very common bore is 0.460 inches inside diameter. It is measured on one of the tuning slides.
The trumpet is only a tuning and amplifier for what goes on at your lips. To make a twenty year old trumpet sound better you have to apply quality sound to it.
A natural trumpet is a trumpet played without valves. It is typically straight (not curved like a modern trumpet). The notes are changed using the lip muscles, aided by some holes drilled in the trumpet (although the holes are mostly used for fine tuning the instrument).

On most trumpets, you simply pull it out.

He played a B-flat trumpet
there are 3 valves, and 4 slides (one for each valve and a tuning slide)
yup. If you mean the water key, yes.
Dizzy played a Bb (B flat) trumpet.
Standard tuning for a guitar is key of "E".
