My first question to you is why is the trumpet called Natural? Seems to me that the natural trumpet would be the horn from a Ram or some other animal.

It's because people who play those things are so talented hence the phrase you are a "natural!" Thus, only talented people (essentially people with great 'chops') can become natural trumpeters.
