that object is a Bubble Mute, from Jo-Ral. It's a type of harmon mute. There are lots of styles of mutes, but this one is the coolest....

[jerro95]

what kind of mute is that?

[jharnum]

@jerro95

it's a Harmon mute. This particular one is a Jo-Ral bubble mute w/ the stem out. I've got a vid on my channel that explains it in more detail. Great mute. Expensive, but worth it.

I would like to start playing the trumpet.

What kind of trumpet is that that you use?

Thanks.

@KnockOut22

I play a Monette Bb trumpet. When I bought it they were affordable. Now, they're very expensive. They're fantastic horns and I love mine like it was my own kid. Well, maybe not that much, but I'll have it until I croak.

what is the object that is stuck in the hole of the trumpet?

@MrAmaziinHimself

I'm playing with the key of D and the D blues scale:

The notes are (maybe not exact, but close): E F# [rip] A F# D, then using the D blues scale (D, F, G, Ab, A, C, D) and I probably threw in the major 3rd somewhere, too, the F#.

@GenerateX3 you might wanna make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, or make sure your headphones aren't messed up, try some different ones

@GenerateX3

Hmmm. Yeah, the sound on this is horrible. I'm about to do some new vids and will re-do this one for better sound (and maybe less talking). Thanks for the heads up!
