Talk:Keyed trumpet

The keyed trumpet was actually quite a flop, due to its cylindrical bore. The keyed bugle, though, was successful. I will rectify this (there is not any mention in the article, and no article for the keyed bugle) soon if no one has anything to say about it. --Pmunger 03:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Weidinger Debate
I read from a few sources that Weidinger may not have invented the keyed trumpet, so I've added this ambiguity into the article. --Erenaeoth (talk) 15:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * While the discretion shown is in itself commendable, it seems a bit far fetched here. If Warburton's book is indeed from 1867 more than a century separates it from Geiringer's (I just fixed a typo in the article: Geiringer's book is from 1982, not 1892). Geiringer is recognised as an authority on Haydn, so I see no reason to include the ambiguity. One could perhaps, based on the information presented in the article, write something along the lines of "While Anton Weidinger was the major artist using the keyed trumpet, and it's invention has sometimes been credited him, the instrument pre-dates the first reports of his public usage with at least five years."

Someone has written that Weidinger may have built a keyed trumpet in 1770. This seems unlikely as he was 4 years old at the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.118.194.76 (talk) 21:52, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Haydn concerto
The article says: "The piece begins with the broken triads and fanfare motifs common to trumpet music of the time (perhaps as a jibe to the audience who had come to see this exciting new kind of trumpet)." This doesn't make sense. The opening of the concerto and the entry of the trumpet both use a scale theme, not triads. The trumpet part does shortly shift to some fanfare motifs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.84.148 (talk) 15:12, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
