Trumpets date back to 1500 BC and before. In Scandinavia, the earliest trumpets were called "lurs." However, since the Trumpet was the first of the metal instruments -- originally bronze and silver, now primarily brass -- its predecessor likely was just called a "horn." The first trumpets were developed as signaling instruments for the military and religious ceremonies.
