Another trumpeter here. If it was a wind instrument that didn’t have a reed it was called a horn.

Enh, in my experience “horn” refers to a French horn, but “horns” refers to all brass (separate from woodwinds, percussion, etc).

But yeah, if somebody referred to a horn, I’d assume they meant French horn.

Trumpets belong in a horn section

In my experience its very common, just to give a counterpoint. “Bring in the horns” to denote a trumpet heavy section, or just referring to the brass section as “the horn section”. 8dk might just be reguonal i guess but its colloquial.

Can agree. Where I live horn only refers to Alto Horns. Trumpets are something different.

Well, yeah…you play the horn, you aren’t a horn yourself. Horns don’t even have thumbs.

Absolutely no offense intended… But you sound like an asshole

Just like phylogenetics and moleculargenetics are both biology, but astrophysics is not, though all 3 are natural sciences.
