Trumpet

a B flat trumpet will tune to an A by playing a B. A C trumpet will tune to an A by playing an A.

I live in Ottawa, ON, Canada -- and HAVE AN Andre Bardot trumpet that my son played a few years ago in jr. high. I asked the local dealer where we purchased it what it was worth and he said between $200 and $250 Canadian - $1US = $1.10 CA). Hope this helps.

Chris Botti plays a Martin Committee Handcraft trumpet made in 1939, and uses a 3C silver plated mouthpiece from Bach made in 1926, having recently retired his 1920 3C Bach mouthpiece.

It depends on your particular lyre. Some will clip onto the end of the bell, or somewhere else on the tubing. Others will slide through the space normally reserved for the third valve slide ring (you may or may not be able to make use of this type, depending on your trumpet).

The play the note 'A' on trumpet, we use the valve combination 1+2.

The top A in the staff is sometimes out of tune, and for that we use an alternate fingering that just consists of third valve alone.

The trumpet has a nominal capability of playing 30 different notes (an expert can get more) and each note it plays is of a different frequency. There is no one, single "frequency" of a trumpet.

First of all, make sure you put the right pistons in the right valves. The pistons (the part that moves up and down, and comes out) and the valves are labeled. The one closest to the mouthpiece is usually labeled as "1", the middle one as "2" and the last one as "3".

Make sure the pistons are well oiled. Then put the piston in the valve. Twist the top of the piston (the button you push on) clockwise until it "clicks" into place. This will ensure that it's properly aligned. Then screw on the cap. If the valves "clicks" when you push it, then you didn't tighten the cap properly.

Once you install all the pistons, try to play your trumpet to make sure they are aligned properly. If you find that you can't blow through the trumpet, check a couple of things.

* Make sure you put the right pistons in the right valves * Make sure they're properly aligned by twisting the piston (twist the button clockwise).

Assuming you are talking about the song that is played to wake up soldiers in the armed forces, the song is called "Reveille."

There is the Accent, Conn, Bach Stradivarius, and prodigy brands for trumpets

from the information I have gathered on an old Besson I have it looks like yours would be 1892-1894. while I am not an expert, these are published on several sites available on line. My reference in this estimate was available on musictrader.com

Hope this helps you.

The best way to avoid stuck slides is to keep them clean and lightly greased, moving them every couple of months so they never get stuck. If you know you are not going to use the instrument for a period of time then consider removing the slides and wrapping them in soft cloth. You can try WD40 or similar lubricant and leave overnight before trying again. That said, if you have got stuck slides then your best bet is to take it to a local repairer to avoid further damaging the instrument - I have had many instruments come to me where Dad has attempted a repair and ended up having to buy a new slide - and in one case a new instrument! www.crumpledhorn.co.uk

The clarinet is played by blowing into the instrument. You need to press down on different keys with you finger tips to make different notes. If the notes do not sound right, your finger tips probably are not fully covering the keys.The clarinet is played by blowing into the instrument.

In addition, make sure that you have assembled your clarinet properly. Roll your bottom lip slightly so it covers your bottom teeth, and put your top teeth on the top of the mouthpiece. Keep your fingers tightly on the holes. Not enough to injure you, but enough so that you have a small circle imprint on your fingers.

To apply valve oil to a trumpet, first unscrew the cap to the oil. Then uncrew the valve that is sticking. Twisting to the right will loosen it. Take the valve out of the slot, and wipe it dry. It may have pre-existing oils and spit on it. Next, apply a THIN layer of oil to the sides of the valve, and inside the holes. If there is any yellow/brown residue on the valve, scrape it off. Next, put a small amount of oil inside the valve hole itself (where you put the valve). Next, insert the valve back in the slot by lining it up.

Best estimates put this trumpet as being manufactured around 1953.

The players lips vibrate, which creates the sound you hear. However, the sound vibrates, or resonates within the trumpet so it doesn't just sound like someone making farting noises with their trumpet.

A double-sharped note is just raised two half-steps from the original note. So if you have A##, the first sharp would go to A#, which is the same as B-flat, and the second sharp would be the A##, which is the same as B-natural.

This question really can't be answered without seeing the trumpet in person. A trumpet's value depends on its condition and playability. Your best bet would be to have it appraised. Depending on the age of the trumpet, it could be worth anywhere from $500-$1,500, but there is no way to tell without seeing it.

Also, you would need to know what kind of Bach trumpet. If it's a Stradivarius, it will be worth more than a student model.

Fb is fingered as E natural. So a low octave Fb is 1 and 2 and a high octave Fb is open.

I've never head of the 'Call to Orders.' The US Army Bands website lists a 'Call to Quarters,' and if that's what you're looking for, the related links section below will bring you to a website with sheet music.

I don't really understand what your asking but I get a feel of it. Girls like it because it feels good.

The trumpet has no reeds. It is a brass instrument, which means the mouthpiece is a single piece of brass.

Dizzy wasn't looking and sat on his trumpet, and dizzy being dizzy, he started blowing into it and found out it made a cooler, unique sound.

I don't believe that if he sat on his trumpet it would of hurt so that's wrong i don't know how his trumpet got that way but i know that that's not it

Actually, his friends were at a gig one night and some of them were drunk. They told jokes to the audience until one of his drunk friends pushed somebody into Dizzy's trumpet. He was furious until he played it
