What should you do when your mouthpiece is stuck on your trumpet without spending money?
Xampede
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.

What size trumpet mouthpiece should you use if you have full size lips?
Very generally speaking, a larger mouthpiece allows more air to be put into the trumpet, which can result in a fuller sound. Also, in a general sense, the shallower the cup ot the mouthpiece, the easier it is to play higher notes.

Borrowing the trumpet itself is fine, but everyone who plays on it should have their own mouthpiece. Putting your lips on something that your friend has also put their lips on is just not a good way to stay healthy.

How do you play the note d on trumpet?
Playing with braces can actually be very good for a new trumpet player. A very common mistake with beginners is to pull the trumpet tight against the lips, which is bad for the player and can damage the lips. A trumpet player with braces has to avoid this problem even more, which means that they are likely to develop better playing practices. Remember that you should never have to pull the trumpet towards your face; just place your lips on the mouthpiece and buzz like you would without braces.

Can lead trumpet mouthpieces be used with Bb trumpets?
There's no such thing as a "lead" trumpet mouthpiece which is substantially different from any other trumpet mouthpiece. The "Lead" moniker is simply added to make it attractive to players who believe that it will make them play as good as a lead player. You should purchase a mouthpiece based on your own experience, embouchure and mouth and teeth placement.

How do you get a mounuth piece unstuck from a trumpet?
with great care pour boiling water on the area of the trumpet that the mouthpiece goes in to . This is thiner than the mouth piece and should expend a little quicker. It would be wise to have someone assist as you will need to have pliers with cloth wrapped around mouth piece to turn and pull - do not hammer any part as it will lead to damage

What is the difference between flute and trumpet?
Trumpet has bore that remains the same throughout most of its length before flaring rapidly close to the bell. The flügelhorn bore is conical from the third valve onwards and the bell is larger, giving a mellower sound. There are also construction differences. From the mouthpiece receiver tube, the trumpet tube goes forward before sweeping back to enter the third valve, whilst the flügelhorn receiver pipe directly enters the first valve and as a result, instead of having a tuning crook, the receiver tubes is telescopically adjustable. The fingering and pitch is normally the same in that both are Bb transposing instruments. Minor clarification: they CAN be in B-flat, but trumpets are available in other keys besides B-flat.
Where should you keep your trumpet?

How do you get your mouthpiece unstuck form a trumpet?
This is really simple! First put an ice pack or a napkin of ice on the place where the mouthpiece and receiver connect. Leave it there for a little while. After 5-10 minutes start turning the mouthpiece counter clockwise and it should come out very easily. If this still does not work use a lighter and very carefully hold it under the receiver. Then twist and that should do it. make sure not to melt your receiver and to wash it afterward. If it still does not work your mouthpiece has been severely jammed and you will have to take to repair shop to get fixed or use a pulling machine. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!
