Best Answer

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.

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.

What does the Transposing trumpet do?

Trumpets that are made in different keys allow for easier transposition. For example, if the piece that you are reading is in "E" and you are playing a Bb Trumpet, you would have to transpose all of the notes up a tri-tone, which can be pretty difficult. If you are playing a C trumpet, you would only have to transpose up a major third, which can be much easier.
