Is this a 612 thing? We typically dont see lawn mowers in bungeed trunks being hauled by a bugle blowing chauffeur out here in Rocks and Cows.
 

If you look close you can see that the lawnmower is hooked to the rear differential and actually powering the car. The lawnmower's exhaust is running through a hose to the driver's rear patoot so he can blow Dixie on his trumpet at the same time.

ooks like some sort of extra-short cornet to me.
 
Maybe 25 years ago we had a salesman that called on our store about once a month. He always claimed he practiced his trumpet whenever driving on the interstate between stores. Said he had done it for years.:eek: This doesn't look too much like him though.
 
We have a very good mechanic in our area that is a trumpet player. He will be at your farm working on something, gets a little stumped or takes a break and pulls out his trumpet and plays. He's a great friend. My Dad used to have harness horses, one day he was driving by the shop and Steve was there. I saw Dad coming asked him to play Camp Town Races, Dad just about drove off the road. Great memory.
 
I didn't get the 612 thing until you mentioned Minneapolis, Jon. Does look like some of the things I used to see going down 35W back in my college days. You see more of that as you get closer to Seattle or Portland out here. steve
 

A musician friend of mine has a little trumpet like that. I asked him if he washed it in too hot of water that caused it to shrink like that? He got a kick out of that.
 
(quoted from post at 10:44:14 05/28/21) Soprano trumpet. Featured in the Beatles' Penny Lane.
Not common in orchestral music.
orry to disagree with you, but the D trumpet from the song Penny Lane would look a lot different from that. I did a little internet research and believe that is a Shepard's crook cornet.
