4.2 Producing Sound
Place the mouthpiece gently against your lips. Form an embouchure (lip position) and blow air through the mouthpiece, creating a buzzing sound. Pressing the valves changes the length of the air column, altering the pitch. Experiment with different valve combinations and air speeds to produce various notes.
5. Manteniment
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your trumpet.
5.1 Neteja diària
- After each use, wipe down the trumpet's exterior with the provided cleaning cloth to remove fingerprints and moisture.
- Remove the mouthpiece and rinse it with lukewarm water. Dry thoroughly.
- Empty any condensation from the water keys (spit valves).

5.2 Manteniment setmanal
- Vàlvules: Remove each valve one at a time, wipe it clean, apply a few drops of valve oil, and reinsert it, ensuring it's correctly aligned.
- Diapositives: Remove all tuning slides. Wipe off old grease and apply a fresh, thin layer of slide grease. Reinsert the slides, twisting them to distribute the grease evenly.
- Use the cleaning brushes to clean the inside of the leadpipe and valve casings.
5.3 Emmagatzematge
Always store your trumpet in its hard case when not in use. This protects it from dust, damage, and temperature fluctuations.
