OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH I WAS SO SCARED I WAS GONNA GET IN TROUBLE BY MY BAND TEACHER AND MY MOM

[yeppits]

Thanks dude! You are a life saver. I thought I messed up my valves, they weren’t sounding correctly at first

This was a lifesaver!! I was about to play in a concert and I needed to oil up my valves and then I couldnt play. Mind you I had to do a solo. This was so easy to learn and my number was hiding under a spring so it took me a while before I found it 🤣🤣 Thanks mate

That’s great. I’m 88-year-old lady who used to play with the Coral Gables High School Band (never very good trumpet player because I lived in an apartment and worry about bothering neighbors kept me from enough practice) and one year with U. of M. Band. Now I want to relearn to play and I can work through simple songs like Danny Boy. Moon River, etc. I’ll get better. Anyway, I got my valves in incorrectly after oiling and had the horrible thought that I’d have to have my husband take me an hour away to have the horn fixed. (I can’t drive yet due to back injury.) So happy to have your solution, which I didn’t remember at all from my past. Thank you.

Thanks so much! For the past 30 mins I've been scared to death since my trumpet wouldn't blow air. Valves 1 and 3 were swapped!

OMG UR A LIFESAVER i was messing around with my trumpet cause i was bored at band then I didn’t know how to put it back in so i called my bad teacher and told her what happened and she put it back in for me. However I noticed that no air was coming through so I spent the whole band class just pretending to play my trumpet lol.

IT WORKS HAHAHA when I disarmed my horn I put in the wrong way the little pieces in two of the valves, so when I insert the valv in the "correct" way, that makes "click" I was inserting the valves wrong, so the air couldn´t blow correctly...THANKS A LOT!!!!

[MeMe-dusn]

Thanks so very much! So helpful about the way the direction of the valve numbers are to face!!!

dude, you are the BIGGEST life saver. I honestly thought u had to get a new trumpet. lol

[undiscovered]

Thank you! I recently purchased a new Yamaha and I cleaned it after it was delivered, and I had noticed no air was going through, after watching this video the problem has been solved. Thank you once again!

[jacklucian]

Thank you so much. I went to oil up one day before a concert and was terrified when no air would come through. After some research, this was the overall most helpful. Cheers 🍻

[Hetterbell]

Thank you so I'm a complete novice with a new trumpet, having a slight panic, and this was SUPER helpful!!

[hilarybrooks]

You are a life saver. This my mom's account. I use her account. I was cleaning my trumpet and I put the valves in wrong. Thank you for helping me put them in correctly

[wavencon]

Holy moly. Thank you so much man even though this comment is like four years later. Over the break I tried to oil my valves but I couldn't make any sound. You just saved my life, thank you!

[gusgustafson]
