Trumpet

Miles played a Heim mouthpiece, first given to him by Clark Terry. Since then he eschewed other mouthpieces and when possible always used the Heim brand, which later was absorbed by Holton. Allegedly Sony asked Kanstul recently to make a series of 2000 replicas of that particular mouthpiece, to be sold with a memorial edition of Miles' records - but I couldn't get confirmation on that by neither Kanstul nor Sony. As an amateur trumpeter and Miles fan I would be very interested. Robbert Keegel

The lowest F is the F# which is all three valves held down. The next F is between E and G. It is with the first valve only.

Basic trumpet technique has remained unchanged since prehistoric times.

Trumpets, along with all other brass instruments, are "lip reed" instruments. The air column in the tube is set in motion by the vibrations of the players lips.

This vibration is transmitted to the body of the instruments by a cup shaped mouthpiece.

Prior to the inventions of slide (ca.1700s), keyed (also ca. 1700s) and valved (ca. 1800) trumpets, the only notes available were the "bugle notes" of the harmonic series.

The modern valved trumpet is supported by the left hand, the valves being operated by the right hand. Each valve adds a length of tubing into the instrument, lowering the harmonic series by: 2nd valve - 1 semitone, 1st valve - 2 semitones, 3rd valve (or 1st plus 2nd) - 3 semitones, 2nd plus 3rd - 4 semitones, 1st plus 3rd - 5 semitones, and all 3 valves - 6 semitones.

The written range of a modern trumpet is from the F# below middle C to approximately the C two octaves above middle C, depending on the player. Personally, I have a range of just over 3 octaves, those who play jazz sometimes have 3 octaves.

The 1st note of a Bb scale, then the 5th. Both are open.

Best estimates put this trumpet as being manufactured around 1958-1959.

no, the recorder has 5 notes and the trumpet has only three.

I wouldn't say there's a hardest instrument to play, and if there is, it isn't flute. True, it's extremely competitive and probably second worst to try and be the best at, next to violin, but it's fairly easy to pick up and play the basics.

a trumpet, like every other instrument, can produce all the note from Ab-G

Ab

A

Bb

B

C

Db

D

Eb

E

F

Gb

G

so a total of 12 notes, not including enharmonic spellings (F#/Gb is an enharmoninc spelling because it is the same note)

If you mean what family of instruments, it's in the brass family. It is in the family of 'wind' instruments. I play one myself! Great instrument!

Your best option is probably a site like Craigslist, though it seems unlikely that you'll find one offered for free; trumpets are valuable enough that anyone who has a working one is probably going to want to recover at least part of their investment. (For that matter, even one that doesn't work is probably worth at least a few bucks as scrap metal.)

I don't know the whole part, but I'm pretty sure that from 2:01 until 2:14, it is a G, A, F#, E, and then repeat it. It is the same every time, except on the last time playing it, the last note is and E flat, not E natural. I hope this helps some.

They are completely different instruments, one is brass and the other is wood wind. A flute is a lot higher in pitch than a trumpet. They look different. The way you play them is different. The mouthpiece is different. One is a lot smaller and easy to pack up.

Not at all. Moreover, he had barely any involement at all in the slow tempo so-called romantic jazz albums he released, it was mostly the work and leadership of Bobby Hackett (the trumpeter you hear on all the albums) that Gleason hired and payed very little credit or money to. As Hackett admitted before his death, Gleason's role was only to drop off the paychecks.

Thomann trumpets are made in China. Anything from China is a gamble, sometimes they are reasonable sometimes not. but for a trumpet that costs around $200 do you expect a quality instrument?

You would be better off saving more cash and getting a Yamaha student horn or purchasing a better quality trumpet second hand. Check out your local music shop and try the instruments they have in person rather than purchasing an instrument as personal as a trumpet online without testing it.

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.

You may well have wondered about the sudden trumpet phrase followed by cheers during the World Cup, which became the sound of the World Cup, a signature tune of sorts. Jean-Roger Delsaud of Midi Olympique tells us what that was all about. It comes from Spain and is heard in the local Spanish "ferias", which means feasts. The trumpet sound is the beginning of a famous Spanish "paso-doble", paso-doble (two step) being a typical piece of Spanish music played by "wind" instruments (trumpets, saxophones, etc) and suited to the sound, drama, and movement of the Spanish bullfight. The words of this paso-doble beginning are: "Toca, toca la guitarra, Manuel" (Play, play the guitar, Manuel). At the end of the trumpet sound, everyone shouts "Olé", which is a typical Spanish shout heard especially during the "corridas" (bull fighting) when the torero is doing a very good "pass" (yes, it is the same word as in rugby.) French rugby, which is mainly played in the south west of France has taken a lot of music, songs from Spain or Spanish "ferias".

more precisely, they are valves. but here is how they are commonly referred to:

if the trumpet is in playing position(mouthpiece at your mouth, bell forward) the 1st valve is the one nearest to your face. your left thumb will rest either against this valve casing or in a little hook right near it. depressing this valve lowers the pitch of the instrument one whole step

the 2nd valve is the middle one. there will be a slide extending out at something like a 45 degree angle away from the trumpet on the casing for this valve. depressing this valve lowers the pitch of the instrument one half step

the 3rd valve is the farthest away from your face. your ring or middle finger will rest either on the casing for this valve or, more commonly, in a ring on a slide extending from the valve casing. depressing this valve lowers the pitch of the instrument one and one half steps. so the effect it roughly the same as if you had depressed both the 1st and 2nd valves at the same time (though depressing the 1st and 2nd valves is more in tune). here is a concert Bb (trumpet C) major scale using those valve names

C-open

D-1st and 3rd

E-1st and second (or 3rd alone)

F-1st

G-open

A-1st and second (or 3rd alone)

B-2nd

C-open

You don't amplify it by shoving a can on the end of it like a mute; you either just play louder, play into a microphone, or play into something that echoes sound (ex: bell of a larger instrument).
