The earliest trumpets date back to 1500 BCE 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.[2] Trumpets from the Oxus civilization (3rd millennium BCE) of Central Asia have decorated swellings in the middle, yet are made out of one sheet of metal, which is considered a technical wonder.[3] The Moche people of ancient Peru depicted trumpets in their art going back to 300 CE.[4] The earliest trumpets were signaling instruments used for military or religious purposes, rather than music in the modern sense;[5] and the modern buglecontinues this signaling tradition.

What is a transposing instrument?

A transposing instrument is a musical instrument that sounds different from the written pitch in the sheet music. When a musician plays a note on a transposing instrument, the pitch heard is not the same as the pitch notated; for example, a B-flat trumpet sounds a concert pitch a whole step lower than written. This requires musicians to transpose music to match the concert pitch used by other instruments. Common transposing instruments include the clarinet, trumpet, and saxophone.

Is the orchestral trumpet a transporting instrument?

Assuming you mean "transposing" yes, normally. It is common in symphony orchestras to have trumpet music written for trumpets in different keys, so the player has to transpose. For instance, the player may be playing on a C trumpet, but the music may be written for a D trumpet, in which case, the player transposes up one step.
