Usage notes
When piston cornets were introduced, a distinction was made between a person who played an old fashioned valveless trumpet (a "trumpeter") and a musician who played a cornet à pistons (a "trumpet player"). This distinction is mostly lost today, as the standard Bb trumpet is so much more prevalent than any museum-piece valveless trumpet.

- (one who plays trumpet): trumpetist, trumpet-player
