to empty the one on the main tuning slide, just hold the lever, or push the button, depending on the kind of spit valve you have, and blow air into the Trumpet. To empty the one on the third valve slide press all three valves down, and push the lever/button on the spit valve, and blow air.

You have to clean the bottom part with a cloth. The cloth is threaded through the bassoon and comes out of the other end because the bottom part has a tube the shape of a 'U'. Alternatively, you can tip the bottom part upside down, and if there is lots of spit down there, it should come dripping out... What a lovely image...

How do you remove the spit from a trumpet?

There are these things on the end of the slides of the trumpet, near the bell, called spit valves. Press on it and blow fast air through the horn. The spit will then come out on to the floor.

Make sure you empty the spit valves ASAP!
