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. Modern performers who choose to play vented instruments avoid the difficulty of vented notes being heard clearly, since baroque scores generally only use the ...
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 modern reproduction of the natural trumpet, called the baroque trumpet, are fitted with tone holes (called vent holes) to correct the out of tune notes (written) B♭ 4, F 5, A 5 ...
On the baroque trumpet, the vent holes are located at the top of the second yard, and possibly on the second bow. After the second bow are the bellpipe, the ball, the bell, garland, and bezel. The bellpipe and first yard are separated by a wood block, and over that there is a cord for binding.
The art was revived in the mid-20th century and natural trumpet playing is again a thriving art around the world. Many modern players in Germany and the UK who perform Baroque music use a version of the natural trumpet fitted with three or four vent holes to aid in correcting out-of-tune notes in the harmonic series.

The experimental E ♭ keyed trumpet was not confined to the natural notes, but was chromatic in all registers of the instrument. [11] Before this, the trumpet was commonly valveless and could only play the notes of the harmonic series by altering the lip tension and embouchure, a group of instruments referred to as natural or Baroque trumpets.
