Very nice photo. I'm sure that I am the only one who doesn't know, but what tells you that he is a trumpeter?

I think that is because of the schwalbenneste, below the shoulder straps on the sleeves of his tunic.

All Military musicians in the calvary were classified as trumpeters regardless of what instrument they played. They were all members of what was considered trumpet bands.

Coert is correct, the "swallows nest" patches on his shoulders indicate he is a trumpeter.

I was trying to remember if I have any musician's shoulder straps for a dragoon ?
