Return to trumpet (thing)

The Grand March in Aida was written for trumpets in B natural and A flat, which are (I'm no musician, but I'm led to understand) a bit unusual for trumpets. Decades later, Tutankhamun's tomb was opened and among the contents transferred to the Cairo Museum were two trumpets in just those keys. There exists a recording of a British military trumpeter playing one. It does indeed sound weird, and perfect for the effect in Aida.

This recording was presumably made in the 1930s. I don't know whether the trumpeter made it through the War.
