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.

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?
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.

Trumpets belong in a horn section
Trumpets are stored in the horns
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)
That one says:

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.
Absolutely no offense intended… But you sound like an asshole
How do you think a guitarist would feel if you called their instrument an ukulele?
Davie504 calls all instruments basses
A ukulele is just a soprano bass
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.
Is it a tiny guitar?
Well, yeah…you play the horn, you aren’t a horn yourself. Horns don’t even have thumbs.
