It's pretty common to call all wind instruments horns in a band context, it is a trumpet but most musicians aren't going to be mad at calling it a horn. Still a bad pick up line
Trumpeter here, I'd be insulted if I was called a horn. Might be regional, but that's not common here. If we're speaking about horns, it's only French horns
