A natural trumpet is audibly different from a baroque one constructed with vents, even if the holes are covered, and when a vent is uncovered it is noticeably weaker and less resonant.

Most brass instruments use valves or a slide instead of tone holes, with the cornett, the ophicleide, the keyed trumpet, and the rare keyed bugle as exceptions.

The experimental E ♭ keyed trumpet was not confined to the natural notes, but was chromatic in all registers of the instrument.

[1] It consists of a mouthpiece, long coiled tubing, and a large flared bell. This instrument was used extensively until the emergence of the valved horn in the early 19th century.
