Check this article in the PERFORMANCE ARTS section of the Florilegium.

While this article is probably for a curved trumpet, I suspect the basic

ideas could be adapted.
The article starts off:

Objective: a natural trumpet that superficially resembles those of
Renaissance manuscripts and that can be played with a standard modern
trumpet mouthpiece by someone of modest trumpet skill. This trumpet (if
built in the key of C - more on keys later) has about 8 feet of total
tubing, and is about 3 feet long overall.
