Darcy, Every trumpet player who has looked at a Leduc solo publication (99.99999654% of good players) will understand Trompette Ut. We low brass players who use Leduc pieces (98.98657% of us) have seen Tuba or Baryton Ut and the dreaded Tuba or Barytone Sib, an awful thing with transposing BASS clef. I am looking at Daphnis & Chloe and it says Trompette en Ut. Hardly modern, but Ut will be universally understood as C trumpet, ie non-transposing.

I have a vague feeling "Trompette en Ut" is archaic, but I don't have any recent French orchestral scores to check against.
