Bell-forward Eb alto horns were called "solo altos". The Eb or F trumpet in this range is called a contralto trumpet, not to be confused with the contra alto used in classical music.
Very nice playing! It sounds like the instrument is pitched in the modern key of E. Were the horns higher pitched back then, or is it just this particular instrument?
