About Black Trumpet. Black Trumpet is a two-story bistro and wine bar in the heart of Portsmouthâs historic old port. Both floors offer views of the Piscataqua River and the oft-photographed tugboats that still escort enormous tankers into the harbor. Our first floor dining room offers a cozy, romantic setting with warm, unassuming service.
It is believed that the trumpet originated in Ancient Egypt. Bronze and silver trumpets were found in the tomb of Tutankhamen. They were used for the military as signaling dev â¦ ices. They may have also been used for religious purposes. Numbers 10:9 in the Holy Bible reveals its military purpose.
