Usage notes
[edit]When piston cornets were introduced, a distinction was made between a person who played an old fashioned valveless trumpet (a "trumpeter") and a musician who played a cornet à pistons (a "trumpet player"). This distinction is mostly lost today, as the standard Bb trumpet is so much more prevalent than any museum-piece valveless trumpet.
Synonyms
[edit]- (one who plays trumpet): trumpeteer, trumpetist, trumpet-player
- (Cygnus buccinator): Olor buccinator (dated)
