I've only been playing for 2 years since I am only going into 8th grade. They won't get me to try and switch, though. My band director knows that he will get a lot of fighting if he should even suggest it and it would be my friends fighting.

Chika: I can't personally play C trumpet, but from what I understand about the instrument (Music Theory is a great class), it plays concert pitch, as opposed to the "standard" Bb, which sounds a major 2nd lower. Example: You play a G (second line, no valves). On the Bb instrument, that would sound like an F on the piano. The C trumpet would sound a G. So, to play Bb music on the C trumpet, just lower everything by one whole step (G to F, c to Bb, etc.).

Kingwarp: Going on eight years, with a year and a half in middle school where the director convinced me to try to play French Horn instead of trumpet. BAD idea, btw.


ok thanxies!!! big help...i've had it a year or so and its just been sittin there..its sounds so pretty and i love the black silver...just gotta get the valve fixed....

I think that's right. But I'm not absolutely sure, so don't kill me if it's wrong. K?

I only have one trumpet, and one 7C mouthpiece. That's all I ever really needed.

Just out of curiosity, how long have you been playing, and how old are you?

Got plenty of songs, just don't remember them all

Stage Band over xp

Miss it already, the H.S. Stage Band is like a Jazz Band, though we play more other stuff than jazz, life funny that way, huh?

1 Trumpet, 3 mouthpieces

One came with it, too old and has no size on it
One 7C
and One 5C

Hopefully my teacher will suggest I move down soon

Anyone have any recommendations on websites to purchase trumpet mouthpieces from?

I just need a new 7C. Preferably Bach.

If you're going to get a new mouthpiece, why not get a better one?
