Not that I really know anything about this, but I was under the impression that a Zugtrompete is in fact a trumpet, with a sliding device. I have seen such instruments played.

I am happy to be enlightened otherwise.

On page 40f. there is a discussion (in the chapter on "tromba") of the three works by JSB with such a clef for the trumpet: BWV 24 (for _Zugtrompete_), 63 (tromba 4) and 71 (tromba 3).


I have not spotted anyone pointing out that a zugtrompete is in fact a trombone, not a trumpet! Also, tromba is not one of the diminutive forms, such as trombetta, which also, but not categorically, indicates a larger instrument (i.e. trombone, although in earlier times it could be used for large bore instruments playing the lowest harmonics).
