What is this natural trumpet?
On this picture of the London Gabrieli Brass Ensemble found here, one sees what I suppose are natural brass instruments.
Does the trumpet right below have a specific name? It has a different form than the baroque trumpet that looks like this (from this site):

It's a demilune trumpet. There are lots of images on google.
Item 72 from the Natural Trumpets catalogue of the Bate Musical Instrument collection.
Demilune trumpet c.1840 This trumpet is made of brass. It has a
central tuning slide. It is also curved probably to make hand stopping
easier. It was made by Dubois & Cie.
If you look carefully you'll see Prof. Blackadder's trumpet has an extra loop just after the mouthpiece, so this picture isn't the same instrument he's playing.
