All trumpets are played with a mouthpiece, getting their vibrations to create sound from the players lips.
Modern trumpets have valves, but there are also other types of trumpets with finger holes, or with no fingering system at all, as in the case of the medieval Trumpet.

Can a trumpet mouthpiece be damaged by using it as a smoking device?
Probably, but for sure, you are going to burn your lips!
What is a natural trumpet?
A natural trumpet is a trumpet played without valves. It is typically straight (not curved like a modern trumpet). The notes are changed using the lip muscles, aided by some holes drilled in the trumpet (although the holes are mostly used for fine tuning the instrument).
How do you make a homemade trumpet?
any tube can be used as a trumpet but your best bet is 4ft of hose a funnel and a mouthpiece connected together using jubilee clips.
What should you do when your mouthpiece is stuck on your trumpet without spending money?
The best way to remove a mouthpiece is with a mouthpiece puller. Most music stores will have a puller, and some will even pull mouthpieces for free. You will get a lot of other suggestions on how to pull the mouthpiece. The problem is, if you use pliers or other inappropriate tools, even with padding of some kind, you can damage the trumpet. The only relatively safe way to try it yourself is to hold the trumpet's mouthpiece tube (ahead of the mouthpiece) under the hot water tap for a couple of minutes. While doing this, hold a package of frozen vegetables, or the like, around the mouthpiece. The idea is to get the mouthpiece as cold as possible, and the pipe as warm as possible. Then, using a hot pad, try to extract the mouthpiece. This may or may not work (it does most of the time) but if it doesn't, it causes no harm to the trumpet.
Can a trombone player play the trumpet?
A trumpet player will probably be able to make a sound on the trombone, but a lack of skill in using the relatively large mouthpiece on a trombone will result in a low quality sound at best. Plus, playing a valved trumpet will usually not make for an easy experience trying to learn a slide trombone.For a bit of fun, ask a trombone player in your band if you can try his instrument out. Try using your trumpet mouthpiece to see what it's like.

Can trumpet playing straighten crooked teeth and eliminate need for braces?
Nope. I've been playing trumpet for five years and there's been no change in my teeth, which are pretty crooked. Also, if you are a trumpet player already, you may be using too much pressure if you think the mouthpiece rammed into your teeth has enough force to straighten your teeth.
