This type of trumpet is a 20c invention. It was designed using some sort of
computer modelling to bring some of the upper partials of the natural trumpet in
tune.
If you want to hear what this can do, I suggest a budget Naxos disc performed by
Niklas Eklund called the Art of the Baroque Trumpet.
This is absolutely AMAZING playing! The sweetest trumpet sound with the warm
overtones of the Natural Trumpet and only very rarely the traditional PFAAR
sound that the Natural makes.
This guy won some sort of baroque trumpet competition and is fast becoming
recognised as the foremost exponent of the instrument.

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
