But on a separate note, I think someone posted somewhere about a company mass producing Eb/E trumpets?
Which may lead to more people playing it in E,

One thing to think about though (and i don't know the answer for certain)
were there any trumpets at the time that played in E because they'd be the mostly natural (keyed i think?) trumpets, and you couldn't play in any key but there basic one, so unless hummel wrote something in E, and then remember no trumpet can play in that key and transposed it to Eb it doesn't make much sense to me...
