What types of oil are safe on a trumpet?
light mineral oils or synthetic oils will work in a trumpet valve block. The oil must not be too thick as that would impair the action.
There are a huge number of different oils available specifically designed for trumpet such as and in no particular order or preference:
- Hetman
- Ultra Pure
- Bach
- Windcraft
- Al Cass
- Horton
- Blue juice
- Herco
And many many others.
According to sources on the Internet, you can also use lamp oil. I haven't tried this so I can't recommend it. but what you don't want to do is used things like wd40 or three in one oil. These vechile oils have penetrating fluid properties and can cause damage to corks and felts and are generally much more poisonous than branded trumpet oils.
How do you finger A sharp on a trumpet?

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.
How does the length of the air column in the trumpet change?
The valves when depressed insert extra tubing into the air stream which alters the resonance of the tube overall.

When he had lost many of his teeth to drug use, he found it easiest to use a flugelhorn.
