The bottom line, indicating first-partial pedal tones, is not usually used by trumpet or horn. The seventh partial (B♭ on trumpet) is flat relative to equal temperament, and thus its use is also avoided. This method is impractical in the altissimo range, because of fingering differences between horns. [citation needed]
The C trumpet is most common in American orchestral playing, where it is used alongside the B ♭ trumpet. Orchestral trumpet players are adept at transposing music at sight, frequently playing music written for the A, B ♭, D, E ♭, E or F trumpet as well as for the B, C ♯, F ♯ or G trumpet (which is used more rarely) on the C trumpet or ...
The piccolo trumpet is the smallest member of the trumpet family, pitched one octave higher than the standard B ♭ trumpet. Most piccolo trumpets are built to play in either B ♭ or A, using a separate leadpipe for each key. The tubing in the B ♭ piccolo trumpet is one-half the length of that in a standard B ♭ trumpet. Piccolo trumpets in ...
The flugelhorn is generally pitched in B♭, like most trumpets and cornets. It usually has three piston valves and employs the same fingering system as other brass instruments, although four-valve versions and rotary-valve versions also exist. It can therefore be played by trumpet and cornet players, although it has different playing ...

Which is correct.
Fingerings for the mellophone are the same as fingerings for the trumpet, tenor horn, and most valved brass instruments. Owing to its use primarily outside concert music, there is little solo literature for the mellophone, other than that used within drum and bugle corps, and a single concerto written for the instrument.
This is a category for all transposing instruments that sound music written in the key of C in the key of B ♭, regardless of octave. Subcategories This category has only the following subcategory.
