Your video is perfect for the beginning student trumpet player. When my son received his horn today in the mail, we were at a loss and your video saved us. Thank you.

Trumpet cases have greatly improved over the last thirty years.I haven't played since high school and I must say that that beautiful instrument and case is giving me second thoughts. My teacher was very good but his one flaw was in not teaching maintenance and cleaning. I guess it was because the instruments were rented and he took care of the maintenance after the gear was turned in at the end of the school term.When you love an instrument it becomes a pleasure to care for it-not a chore.

I'm a noob, and thought this video would be really boring to watch - but thanks to the quality presentation and editing it was really interesting! Keep up the good work - and THANK YOU!

05/03/21- I’m a guitar player and just acquired two trumpets. I had no idea what the care routine was. This was helpful

Thanks for the vid. Just picked up a tarnished trumpet at Goodwill for $10. Cant wait to see how it turns out after a good cleaning

This was the best!!! Thank you so much for this information. I've wanted to play trumpet for so long and just recently got one. It was old, I had to learn how to clean it. The reassembly was the roughest part. Once I learned that there are NUMBERS on them... Wooo!!! Golden tone. Thought I broke it. Thank you sir.

Thank you! My son started playing trumpet last week. We didn't know how to take care of it.

Thank u for helping me assemble my trumpet hornsmasher your help is important always thank u God will bless u.

[lisarispoli]

Very thorough! Thank you. I would add that when removing valve slides, one should also press the valve to avoid the dreaded pop sound.

[marten]

How to get the moisture (and debri from your teeth) out of your instrument, every day? Pull the main tuning slide out, run a small cloth with chord through it, Reka and Bob Reeves have excellent examples of them, and put the running slide back. This keeps your horn cleaner.

A THANK YOU, from Rio de Janeiro. Horn is going to be in good shape for carnaval

[margolevanetz]

This really helped me understand different parts of my trumpet

[GuyBaldridge]

When I bought my trumpet from the pawn shop I guess the guy had been trying to either clean the valve or oil them but the were all in the wrong slots, I jokingly told him it was no good to just sell it to me for five bucks, it's a real nice horn now that I got them all straightened up the fingering is as smooth as a baby's behind😄🎺🎼🎶 I love to listen to Dizzy.

I just bought I trumpet and I was wondering how often should I get the insturment cleaned. Also this video was very helpful

[GilmarMachadoJesus]

[misterclone]

Terrific video. Great jobs as always hornsmasher.

[stirdystirdy]

I thought his name was Horny Smasher lol internet screwed me up.

Great video :)

I liked the video! Although this is what I do, and what I assume 99% of trumpet players do, big trumpet makers say to oil you valve heavily before and after every time you play. The oil should be used to keep it clean, not really to lubricate it. Again, I liked the video!

HELP! This is my 5th year playing trumpet (since 6th grade, im going into 10th) and for the first time one of my valve caps have jammed. I'm afraid the threads have crossed for it appears to be slightly tilted. I have known long before watching your amazing video that pliers and other tools should not be used. What can I do to fix my valve caps that are stuck?
