An important item
in the care of brass instruments is keep¬ing the mouthpiece clean. Do this by removing
all particles of dirt with the mouthpiece brush in a solution of
liquid dishwashing soap and lukewarm water, then rinsing it with
clean water.
Clean the valves once a week (or more if necessary). Very carefully
remove the valves and the bottom caps. DO NOT DROP THEM. With
the valves out, thoroughly wipe them off with a lint-free cloth.
Take
care to remove all valve oil and dirt. Clean the casings with
the cloth wrapped com¬pletely around a casing cleaning rod.
Do the same for each casing.
As you replace each valve, put a
generous amount of valve oil
on it and check to make sure you have the correct valve in
the correct
casing. The number one valve is always closest to the mouthpiece.
Most valves and casings are also marked with numbers. Line
up the valve guide with the slot inside the casing, replace the
valve,
and screw down the cap. Clean out the bottom valve caps and
replace
them.

Baier |

Not all trumpets are created equal. A quality
trumpet should be constructed of high-quality brass, thick enough
to hold up against daily use. The valves should fit perfectly,
and move smoothly. The soldering (welding) that holds the trumpet
together should be clean and strong. The mouthpiece should be
perfectly shaped to allow the most beautiful sound to be produced.
Quality trumpets will naturally play in tune, and produce a beautiful
sound. Many of the best trumpets in the world are made right
here in the United States. Europe also produces very high quality
instruments, especially Germany. What to avoid
Sadly, some overseas manufacturers, more interested in corporate profits than
the success of the beginning student, are producing extremely low quality,
poor sounding, cheap instruments trying to draw parents away from the high
quality instruments that cost more. Summerhays Music Center refuses to carry
instruments of such poor quality. To the untrained eye, it can be difficult
to see the difference between one of these low quality trumpets, and high
quality instruments. Watch out for uneven finish work, poor soldering or
welds, sticky valves or valves that do not move smoothly. These instruments
do not play in tune, produce a beautiful sound, or stand the test of time. We suggest...
For the beginning trumpet player, we suggest renting a high
quality, student line instrument. At Summerhays Music Center
we carry only the best in student
line instruments, with brands including Yamaha, Bach, Accent, and Jupiter.
After a few years, the student will be ready to upgrade to a professional quality
(also known as "step-up") trumpet. When that time comes, Summerhays
Music Center will help find the best instrument for you. And at Summerhays
Music you build up a trade credit while renting your student line instrument,
which can be applied to the purchase of your new professional trumpet! Your best resource
Your best resource is a knowledgeable musician who knows the instrument inside
and out. Stop by Summerhays Music where we’ll help you determine the
best instrument for you! Then choose from our large selection of high-quality
student- through professional- level instruments. Stop in and see us today!

 The
trumpet is one of the oldest instruments in history. Primitive
trumpets are found on every continent and are usually associated
with ceremonial
and tribal rituals. Many of the early trumpets were actually
large sea shells or animal horns, and were used as a signal
by “buzzing” the
lips into the smallest end of the shell or animal horn. As technology
improved, trumpets began to be made of brass, and were long, straight
instruments with a small end with a mouthpiece into which the lips
were buzzed, and a flare at the end called a "bell," as it
is today. The early trumpet players would change the note by
buzzing their lips at different speeds, and blowing faster and
slower speeds
of air.
 The
greatest advancement for the trumpet came in the mid-1800's, with the
creation of the valve. There are three valves on today's trumpet, which,
when pressing them down, opens up more tubing making the trumpet longer.
Buzzing the lips at different speeds, and using different valve combinations,
allows a modern trumpet player to play all the different notes.
Today the trumpet is part
of the "brass" family
of instruments. In the brass family you will find the trumpet,
trombone, french horn, baritone, and tuba. All the instruments
in the brass family
are made of brass, and coated or plated with a silver, black,
or brass finish. Each instrument uses a mouthpiece, into which
the player buzzes
his/her lips. The buzzing sound is amplified (made louder) through
the rest of the instrument, until the sound comes out the bell. The Trumpet Today There are many different variations on the trumpet,
including the cornet, flugel horn, and piccolo trumpet. The trumpet
used in band, is called the B-flat trumpet, and B-flat trumpets are
all made the exact same size, so one size fits all. Trumpets can be found in all kinds of music, from
concert band, marching band, orchestra, jazz, funk, ska, rhythm and
blues, and more. It is one of the loudest instruments in the band,
and a trumpet player needs to have the confidence to be heard over
the rest of the band or orchestra. Almost anyone can learn to play
the trumpet, as long as they are physically capable of holding the
instrument and has enough strength in their lips to buzz into the mouthpiece.
