Best Answer

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.

In the late 1800's, the cornet was invented. It was like a bugle, but it had valves and slides. A little while later and the cornet was elongated to make the first modern trumpet.
