I’m a 6th grader and just started playing trumpet, I have learned so much but I have one problem is just to keep my chin still..! :( I cant seem to keep my teeth apart and tongue in the right place so please give tips 😀

ok question, how do i recover my embrochure faster after practicing? im trying to take breaks in between practicing (say practice for half an hour and take a 10-15 minute break) but when i come back my embrouchure still isn't reset and its as if i didnt even stop playing. any advice would be welcome 🙏

I borrowed a piccolo trumpet today to play the Hallelujah Chorus at my community band's holiday concert. I've never played one before. When I started to play today, I realized that it is basically just an octave higher. The only problem is the Hallelujah Chorus has several Fs (first space of the staff) and it *seems* like this thing only goes down to F#. Is that true? Is there a way to play an F? I can put in a different lead pipe to change the key from B-flat to A. Would that give me a way to play that note after transposing the music? Worst case scenario, I can just skip anything F or lower. I'm not the only one playing the first part, so the low notes would be covered. Thanks in advance for any advice! (And any other advice about playing a piccolo trumpet. It's pretty fun!)

Hello!

I've been looking at "student" trumpets (with my budget) and selected these:

- Yamaha YTR-2330 - 498 euros

- Yamaha YTR-4335 GII - 739 euros

- Bach TR-450 - 759 euros

Which do you think would be the "best" option for an absolute beginner?

I also went to eBay and searched for used trumpets nearby, yet I couldn't find almost any. Pretty much all of them were priced exactly as new instruments. Not worth it, yet I found these:

- Yamaha ytr5335g - 800 euros

- Selmer 75 Radial C (from 1970s) - 900 euros

Any feedback on all of these?

Thank you!

I need to buy one semi-professional trumpet or professional trumpet (if the price is in my budget)

Can i but the Carolbrass CTR 5000L ? Or the Carolbrass CTR 5060H GSS ?

I would like to know what the most trumpet players in here are playing for their daily use

NOT A SELL POST, JUST TRYING TO GET OPINIONS

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I wanted to get opinions on what I could fetch for this trumpet. The model is a Yamaha TR6345HGS and I purchased it for around ~$1200 in 2017. I got it professionally cleaned recently and it is fully functional. I'm considering selling it if I could get at least $600 for it, otherwise I'll just keep it. Is it worth that amount or more?

Context in case anyone cares: I stopped playing trumpet for a very long time and tried getting back into it recently, hence why I got it cleaned recently. I do enjoy playing but I live in a multistory apartment now and I feel super conscious about my neighbors (any time I play I can hear footsteps I otherwise never hear when I'm not playing) to the point I don't feel comfortable playing at any time. So if I could sell the trumpet for a good price I will, otherwise I'll just keep it for the future because maybe my living situation will change and I could start playing again comfortably.

So I am a new trumpet player and I was using my trumpet and then I took out the valves to look at them and then now when I blow in my trumpet air won't come our and only my middle valve works I need help pls text me back ASAP bc I have a performance tomorrow

Bought this in an estate sale a while back. I enjoy playing on it, but I have no idea what the 1* marking means. It has a much flatter rim than the 10.5C I bought with it, which doesn’t have any extra markings. I emailed Mark when I got it about a year ago, and again about a month ago, but he hasn’t gotten back to me. Anyone here know what it means?

Hello fellow toots! I have a pretty big overbite, and have noticed recently when I play that I need to physically move my front tooth back a small bit after playing, probably from having too much pressure on my top teeth. When I try to connect the trumpet to my jaw more I can’t get a note out.. what to do??

Cheers!

Hey guys, I’m currently a freshman in college majoring in Music Education. I’ve recently went through an omenture(probably didn’t spell that right) change, and now my teacher is trying to help me get my range back. He keeps saying to move the back of my tongue and to move my jaw to create less and less space to increase air pressure, allowing for a higher range. I can move my tongue, but are there any tips for moving my jaw? Also, any suggestions on how to get rid of tension in my face? I feel that it’s a byproduct of me not being able to move my jaw properly.

Thank you!!!

I’ve seen this mouthpiece multiple times in dci videos and other stuff etc
