Those are Baroque trumpets without valves, period instruments, so they are single-pitch trumpets. This means that there are some notes that the trumpets cannot reach. Composers of the period knew this and didn’t write those notes for the trumpet. It’s probably a C-trumpet. Trumpets with valves came later.
