I hope he can transpose his music form Bb trumpet to C

I swear my trumpet had moods😭one day it worked beautifully and the next it was like someone put glue in the valves😭😭😭

Had a nearly microscopic dent in my trumpet in high school and I went for over a year thinking it was just the weather messing with the metal. The shop owner's apprentice noticed the issue and rolled it out for free. Saved my life that year lmao

"On now its even worse"
At that point it needs to be taken to the shop 😂

Bro music teachers do not let you get away with not playing unless you absolutely can’t. “Your wrist is broken and you can’t play your violin? Practice the fingerings.” “The bridge of your cello shattered because somebody tripped in it? Get the Frankenstein school cello that might be missing a string and that nobody wants to play or attempt to tune” (the cello one was indeed personal)

This was happening to my mello, eventually i deep cleaned it and now it works like a charm!

[LoydRamey]

Band directors really do be like that sometimes tho

[RockyRainer]

"works like a charm"
Bro got the whole spell book.

I was a woodwind player, but I find this hilarious! 😂

"give your trombone a bath"
never been more scared in my entire life

My sophomore year in highschool I marched Mello. I ended up having a Mello that was broken. The third valve didn't work and was also technically pushed down.
So I had to try to learn any alternative fingerings I could to try and keep playing.

I was so happy when I finally was able to play normally again.

Here's my biggest problem I've been in band for about 4 to 5 years now and only a few weeks ago did I actually learn how to apply valve oil correctly

[paxtoncargill]

I wish i knew this when i played tuba, good valves are so important

[Verycoldwater]

This was me trying to get out of playing, at one point I told my teacher I lost my instrument he just handed me another one😭

[georgevanar]

Works like a charm somehow gets me every time

[MyneOwneNarrator]

Thank you Mr. C, wherever you are, for teaching the trumpet section Valve Oil doesn't fix everything

[pianoboyedm]

i fucking love the additional boom when the new horn, in fact, does not have sticky valves

[myrogregory]

As a trumpet player I find this very true and actually happen to me today

[_nameless_]

Literally every Monday... I leave my trumpet in the locker for 2 days then I come back for class and rehearsals that day and every valve is stuck
