There are a number of reasons why your Trumpet might not make any noise.

It could be that you are not your not buzzing your lips.

Often it might be because the valves have not been put back in the right place after they have been oiled, so make sure that the number on the valves is facing the mouthpiece.

If it still doesn't work after you have re-arranged the valves you should take the trumpet to a specialist and ask their help.

theres a few possibilities, one make sure your buzzing your lips when you play, 2 make sure all the valves are in the right valve casing (each has a number on it that say what valve it is) 3 if you have recently oiled your valves turn the tops of them to the right until they wont spin (dont force them, if they wont spin then they are already locked in) 4 there maybe somthing in the pipes and you might have to clean it with a snake in order to unclog it

Try turning the valve around. Unscrew the silver part by each valve and turn them until the white square is facing you and screw the silver part back on

How do you describe the sound of a trumpet?

You could describe the sound of a trumpet in a few ways. For example, you could note that it is a cylindrical, mid to high range brass instrument, and draw your auditory conclusions from that. Perhaps you could relate it to the sound a trombone makes - higher, and without the slide. Usually the trumpet is the instrument people recognize, and someone would compare, say, a flugle horn to it.

I would suggest a Bach for the easy playing, great durability, and affordability. My favourite Bach is the Bach Omega. Another wonderful instrument is the King Silverflair (my favourite Trumpet over all) because of its beautiful sound, look, and it is hard to dent.

There's no atmosphere to speak of on the Moon to transmit the sound, so you might not be able to hear it at all. If you, and the drum, were in a pressurized room, then it would make the same sound it makes on the Earth.

How do you make a high sound on a trumpet?

It depends on what you mean. The bugle and the trumpet are two different instruments, although they are similar. You can play bugle music or bugle calls on a trumpet. The music is played the same way any other trumpet music is played. Because of the way bugle calls are written, you can play all the notes in any given bugle call without having to use the valves.

The value of the trumpet mostly depends on what condition it is in. Say the valves or the tuning slides are all seized up, the trumpet would not be worth much. But it really depends on the buyer.


Is the trumpet played using valves and a mouthpiece?

All trumpets are played with a mouthpiece, getting their vibrations to create sound from the players lips. Modern trumpets have valves, but there are also other types of trumpets with finger holes, or with no fingering system at all, as in the case of the medieval trumpet.
