What did they use the trumpet for in 1814?

Prior to 1824 trumpets were natural, keyed or used crooks to change pitch. After 1824 Jean-Hilaire Asté added pistons to a trumpet to make the first valved trumpet known as a Cornopean (Trumpet with pistons). The Cornet developed rapidly towards the end of the 19th century and the modern Cornet was designed by Antoine Courtois in 1855.


Why wont air go through my trumpet?

Chances are good that when you oiled your valves, you didn't align the pistons properly. When you reinsert the piston into the valve, twist it clockwise (by twisting the button) until it "clicks" into place. That should align the valve properly, and you should be able to play your trumpet again. Another possibility is that you put the pistons in the wrong valves. The pistons and valves are each marked with a number (1,2,3). Piston 1 goes in Valve 1, and so on.


What kind of valves does a trumpet use?

Look at your trumpet. Notice how there's tubing right by the piston/rotary valves. When you press a valve down it sends the air through a different, longer pipe, making the note lower. If you release a valve, the valve closes the longer tube and opens the shorter tube, creating a higher sound.
