The baroque trumpet is a musical instrument in the brass family. It was invented in the mid-20th century based on ideas from the natural trumpet of the 16th to 18th centuries and designed to allow modern performers to imitate the earlier instrument for music of that time. Often synonymous with 'natural trumpet', the term 'baroque trumpet' is also often used to differentiate an instrument with added vent holes and other modern compromises, with an original or replica natural trumpet which does not.
