A herald Trumpet is a special type of elongated trumpet. The tubing is curved similarly to that of a normal trumpet, but the curves are "tighter," meaning that the straight parts of the main tubing stick out much farther (both towards and away from the player).
These trumpets are often used in ceremonial situations, as a line of herald trumpeters make an impressive sight. Even better, many of these trumpets are made with small rings attached near the bell and valves from which a flag can be hung.

∙ 13y agoA herald trumpet is basically a regular trumpet that is not "wound." Herald trumpets usually have a smaller bore than the average trumpet so they get a brighter sound. Otherwise, they are the same. The fingerings for notes are the same and most of them use standard trumpet mouthpieces. Another thing I thought of, herald trumpets usually flag rings on the bell so you can hang a banner from it.

The medieval trumpet you're thinking of would be the Herald Trumpet. It was a natural horn and could only play notes that would be considered "open valve" on today's modern trumpets.
