Hi, I was wondering about the 2nd valve slide, If you move it, what note are you trying to tune?

[guy614]

hey man, whenever i tune my trumpet, when i pull out the slide with the keyring, it makes a sort uf "blowing sound" or something

I need some help. on the curved part of my trumpet by the mouthpiece, it is losing its shiny coating so its a dull yellow color. there are other small spots like this on my trumpet. Why is this happening? Please help!

I cringed when he hit the mouthpiece with his palm, repeatedly. :/

cool man cool. @hornsmasher i just purchased a 1940s "Roth" trumpet. i was wondering what a trumpet like that would go for these days? do u have a clue, i ask but no one replys back. haha. just curious im not trying to sell it or nothing. near mint condition just a few scratches here and there. not dents or dings. original case. and another question, the bell is a little smaller than 5 inches.. i know u have a yamaha, which i hear alot of mixed emotions about around the web.. so what do u think?

this is a great thing to learn for me because i signed up for band and i need to know how to assemble it and dissemble my trumpet :l

[na6807]

what trumpet are you using for the example..and what is a good starting trumpet for someone wanting to learn how to play the instrument??

[hornsmasher]

@na6807 Yo na6807, thanks for the post. I am a shameless Yamaha dealer and that would be my recommendation. Seriously though, as a repairman of 48 years it is my opinion that the Yamaha instruments are the best value on the market today. The trumpet is a Yamaha YTR-200AD....a horn identical to the Yamaha YTR-2335 and either one would be an excellent starter trumpet. BTW, please buy my trumpet care kit...support repair technicians! Blessings to ya,,,, hj

Damn, this is crazy complicated. I'm glad I play strings! :) Do trumpet players have to do this every day?

[wannawatchu66]

@C3P0meetsData (chuckling) No, not all of it. :o)

[geauxsaint12]

@C3P0meetsData oiling the valves yes but greasing the slides every two weeks or when the slides are to slow/hard to pull out
