      @@kendralane155 you have to get valve oil, which you can find at any music store, and unscrew the valve to oil it. Don’t pour it from the bottom of the trumpet, as it does not work and just makes a mess

      Couldn't agree more. I'm a 38 year old musician who has always loved music but sometimes let's life get in the way. The bottom line for me is that I realized recently I can't be happy unless I'm practicing my instruments and making music on a regular basis.

    I played French horn for decades - major symphony at age 22... Well, I moved on to other things in life and hadn't played a brass instrument in about 13 years. I realized that I REALLY missed playing a brass instrument, so what to do? I had an incredible range on French horn, so I said to myself, "Self, I want to play cornet!!" A year of Bb cornet (which I adore), I decided to get a trumpet. I got a very nice B&S Challenger II Bb silver trumpet (I liked the response and 'fatness' of the sound more than any Bach Strad models - a personal thing, for sure!)
    2.7 years later, I have a great coach and am totally loving trumpet.
    TRUMPET!!!! YEAH!!!!

    At 63 years old I just this minute played my first correct notes on a trumpet! Tried in high school but switched to flute in frustration. I am taking tenor sax lessons now. But still have a desire to learn other things.
    Thank you for making this video!
    BTW: The horn I'm messing with is a C.G.CONN 22B circa 1951 with a Bach 10C mouthpiece I found at the flea market. I can't get at the serial number to look up the exact year of manufacture because it has a custom leather cover over the valve bodies. I don't want to mess with that. I have a cornet that has an exactly identical bell engraving with a serial number that is from 1951. So I figured this horn must be close.

  • @VioletMidnightProductions

    Thank you so much for this video!!! Started playing trumpet yesterday and couldn't figure out how to okay WITHOUT lip buzz!! Buzzing made my lips feel scoured!! I tried your technique tonight just using my mouthpiece and it worked!! Looking forward to trying it when my landlady leaves again!

    • @AdamMeckler
      @AdamMeckler  Před 3 lety

      Nice! It is a bit different when you only use the mouthpiece. The instrument actually makes the buzz feeling happen even easier. Good luck! (Try playing in to a pillow to mute the sound of the horn if you have neighbors that don't like the noise!)
