hello, Steve
1) Yes
2) No. If the piece is in Eb-flat major, most of them use a Bb Piccolo
trumpet.
If the piece is written in the key of D major, they tune the piccolo down to
A.

1. Do some/many/most professional orchestral trumpet players own trumpets
pitched in C for playing things at concert pitch?
2. Do some/many/most who play Baroque music or other music written for Eb
trumpet own and use an Eb trumpet? I helped a local band director
transpose
some Eb trumpet parts so that Bb players could play them normally, and
they
really did end up being quite high. I also can't imagine someone playing
the first movement of the Haydn trumpet concerto on a Bb instrument
(although I guess it's possible).
Thanks in advance, and apologies for the digression.
