I was watching a program of baroque music being played on period
instruments tonight and I noticed a trumpet which didn't have valves but
the player appeared to be covering holes with his fingers.
Did that trumpet work on the same principal as the Serpent or Saxaphone?

What was it's range and limitations?
It sounded fine to me and apart from having 8 or 9 feet of tubing seemed
relatively easy to hold.
Thanks
