It's pretty common to call all wind instruments horns in a band context, it is a trumpet but most musicians aren't going to be mad at calling it a horn. Still a bad pick up line
Trumpeter here, I'd be insulted if I was called a horn. Might be regional, but that's not common here. If we're speaking about horns, it's only French horns
In horns, unlike some other brass instruments such as the trumpet, the bore gradually increases in width through most of its length—that is to say, it is conical rather than cylindrical.[1]
Which seems to specifically exclude trumpets from horns.
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.
Differently, because that's a poor analogy. Trumpets are horns, guitars are stringed instruments. Now, if they called their trumpet a kazoo, it'd be time to throw down.

That is not a horn. Purple correctly identified it as a trumpet.

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

Isn't brass more commonly used?

"Brass" "woodwind" and "Percussion" were the clinical anatomy textbook words and "horn" "wind" and "drum" were the casual everyday words.

The piccolo flute is a horn?
TheDoozer@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 1y
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.

Doesn't look like that article says anything about trumpets to me. It does link to this article about horns, though: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_(instrument)

Also the popular music section includes two photos with people playing trumpet and lists a bunch of horn sections, most of which contain trumpets.

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

No. Tubing and curl is wrong. It's not quite right for a trumpet either, but having 16 pixels doesn't give you much room for accuracy, I guess.

My dumbass would’ve interpreted that as ‘I’m a trump supporter’ and definitely not gotten any action

I would've interpreted it as "tooting", i.e. farting. No idea, how much action that warrants.
