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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are trumpets used for jazz?

Almost All ensembles of instruments in any genre are designed to be able to cover the full audio spectrum from Bass to soprano. The brass instruments cover three ranges in the area; Bass, Treble, and alto.

The Trumpet is a treble to alto range instrument.

The trombone is a Treble to bass instrument.

The Sousaphone or Euphoniums are bass to double bass instruments.

However, having said that, Jazz is not a particular style played with a particular set of instruments. It is a catchall name for any improvised music played on any instrument. All of the brass family of instruments have been used in Jazz bands. Equally all brass instruments are used in classical music.

For a small Dixie style band you would expect to see;

A trumpet

A trombone

A Banjo

A Sousaphone, Bombadon, or other bass brass instrument.

Drums

But even this isn't the minimum or maximum line up or even the definitive list of instruments that can or cannot be used.

All Jazz music is by definition, experimental to a greater or lesser degree.

What year was the Bundy Selmer trumpet serial number 502055ML manufactured?

Date of manufacture approx 1972/3.

Selmer Bundy is the name given by Selmer to what was originally the Bach 1001 (one of which I still play, having bought it new in the early 1970s).

ML is not part of the serial number but denotes that the instrument has a medium large bore.

What were trumpets called before?

Trumpets date back to 1500 BC and before. In Scandinavia, the earliest trumpets were called "lurs." However, since the trumpet was the first of the metal instruments -- originally bronze and silver, now primarily brass -- its predecessor likely was just called a "horn." The first trumpets were developed as signaling instruments for the military and religious ceremonies.

Is the trumpet louder than the saxophone?

Personally I think the trumpet is louder, but I also play the trumpet so this answer might be a little bias. All the directors say the sax is but personally I think trumpets rock the house. Trumpets were specifically designed in the Middle ages to anounce the arrivall of an important event whereas the saxophone was created to give a melody that flows everywhere. Trumpets were made to be loud!

Which is harder trumpet or flute?

it depends. I think that the fingerings for flute are more complicated then the trumpet, but some people would find it easier to play the flute. It could be hard to blow into either. If you want to play one of them, I would suggest trying both of them and then choosing which ever one you like.

How do you unstick trumpet valves?

Unscrew the cap on the top of the valve and pull out the valve. Make sure it is clean and apply valve oil to the valve. Depending on how stuck it is and if the euphonium has not been played in a long time will determine how much valve oil you will have to use. After you have oiled the valve put the valve back in, making sure the guide is lined up, and then screw back on the top cap finger tight. If the valve is really stuck and you can not get it out you should take the euphonium to a instrument repair shop so you don't damage the instrument.

Instrument like a trumpet?

Cornets and Flugelhorns and basically the same as a trumpet, but they have different bore types and different tubing shapes that make the tonal qualities different. Depending on what mean by similar, other instruments can be considered similar. French Horns are similar in that they have three valves (normally) and have similar playing characteristics, they are just normally in a different key. A baritone horn is similar in that most of the fingering positions are the same, and you can play trumpet music on a baritone without transposing. The same can be said for a euphonium, except that euphonium players normally play bass clef music instead of treble.

How do you clean brass buttons?

Use Autosol or rubbing compound and buff it Assuming it is an old button, you do not want to remove the patina. Do not use Brasso or naval jelly. When I buy an old brass British cap badge, I clean it with a tooth brush and tooth paste. That removes any dirt and cleans it just enough to look a little brighter.

How do you put together a trumpet?

How to put a trombone togetherOk, I had trouble putting a trombone together when I started. The trombone has more pieces to put together than almost any other brass instrument. With the trumpet, french horn, and baritone you just put the mouth piece in, but with the trombone it's a bit more difficult.

First, you take the slide and put the mouth piece on. Just look for the shorter end of the slide opening and gently put it in. Don't shove it in or you'll have to take it to the shop to get it unstuck.

Second, you take the slide with the mouth piece on it and screw the longer end onto the bell opening. Twist the tightener until you can't twist anymore. Don't twist too much or it will get stuck and once again will have to go to the shop to get it fixed.

Third, make sure that the bell is on the left side of the slide and start playing!

Why would your trumpet not make any sound at all?

There are a number of reasons why your trumpet might not make any noise.

It could be that you are not your not buzzing your lips.

Often it might be because the valves have not been put back in the right place after they have been oiled, so make sure that the number on the valves is facing the mouthpiece.

If it still doesn't work after you have re-arranged the valves you should take the trumpet to a specialist and ask their help.

When was the Olds Ambassador trumpet with serial number 661849 manufactured?

As with anything the true value of your horn is what some one else is willing to pay. I just bought one in good condition for $10.00 but realistically speaking the horn in question is worth from $80.00-$150.00 depending on condition. If you want a good tax ride off donate it to your local school and ask for a RECEIPT. I buy, sell, and donate.
