i just bought a junky trumpet, didnt come with a mouthpiece... how can i tell that the valves work? They press in and dont stick, but im not sure about their functioning. Also there are no caps on the valves, will this affect playing? lastly, it has a stuck tuning slide, how can i get this to work again?
whilst i develop into in intense college, I performed on a 3C and had a particularly good sound. in my view, i could in no way visit a smaller, shallower mouthpiece to play intense. i could quite develop my chops and be waiting to do it on a deeper mouthpiece. In college, I switched to and nonetheless at present play a Monette B2, that's analogous length to a a million a million/4C, and characteristic an excellent sound, and might play a intense G (4 ledger lines above the staff) and up on it. i exploit it for any group I play in, marching, stay overall performance, musical theatre, etc... ultimately it boils all the way down to private preferrence. %. the mouthpiece that feels the terrific to you and nonetheless can provide a good sound. you do not pick it so great and deep that your variety and sound go through, and you do not pick is purely too small and shallow which you get too outstanding and tinny of a sound. wish this facilitates.
