Invented ca 1910, the modern "trumpet" is actually a cornet. At the end I meant Saxhorn quintet, not quartet. 2 Infanterie (Infantry) Saxhorns, 2 Eb alto/tenor horns, and 1 small-bore (British-brass-band style) baritone.

If you need a good trumpet teacher, you can't go wrong with Chase Sanborn. This guy really knows his stuff and will steer you in the right direction:

A REAL trumpet is about twice the length, and has NO VALVES! It lingered on in the orchestra after the death of JS Bach and his contemporaries. But I agree that the rotary trumpet is more “trumpet” than is the modern piston instruments.

I am not sure but as far as I know Trumpet really refers to the shape of the bell. So those massive horns the Romans used, trumpets, the air intakes on cars shaped like that, tuned induction intakes are called intake trumpets, cornet is not a catchy name.
