From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Trumpets
      were of a great variety of forms, and were made of divers
      materials. Some were made of silver (Num. 10:2), and were used
      only by the priests in announcing the approach of festivals and
      in giving signals of war. Some were also made of rams' horns
      (Josh. 6:8). They were blown at special festivals, and to herald
      the arrival of special seasons (Lev. 23:24; 25:9; 1 Chr. 15:24;
      2 Chr. 29:27; Ps. 81:3; 98:6).
     
         "Trumpets" are among the symbols used in the Book of
      Revelation (Rev. 1:10; 8:2). (See {HORN}.)
