The trumpet: a popular brass instrument
The Périnet trumpet (piston valves), often referred to as the French style, is a popular instrument in entertainment music. Along with the saxophone, this type of trumpet is the melodic instrument in jazz, often referred to as the "jazz trumpet." Its bright and sharp tone is not only an integral part of jazz but also in classical and folk music.
The B-flat trumpet is the most common model. Besides the B-flat trumpet, the C, E-flat, piccolo trumpet, pocket trumpet, and cornet are most commonly used.
Surface coatings vary: clear lacquer and gold lacquer for shine, colored lacquers for individual design, as well as silver and gold coatings for an elegant appearance and protection. A quality feature is Monel valves, made of a brass alloy with about 40% nickel, offering corrosion resistance and durability.
AROUND THE TRUMPET
Mutes: Mutes can alter the sound of a trumpet. Whether made of metal, plastic, or rubber, each mute changes tone and dynamics. Important: Intonation should be controlled when using a mute.
Care: Maintaining a trumpet is crucial for enjoying it for many years.
Here are the key steps to keep your trumpet in top condition:
1. Cleaning the surface: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Regular cleaning protects the surface from dirt and wear.2. Moisture control: Breath passing through the instrument brings moisture. After each playing, it's important to drain the condensed water and air-dry the instrument.
3. Thorough rinsing: About every 8 weeks, rinse your trumpet with lukewarm water. This helps to dissolve saliva residues and keep the inner pathways clean. A shower hose adapter, attached instead of the mouthpiece, can be very helpful.
4. Professional interior cleaning: At least every 3 years, your instrument should be chemically cleaned inside to remove bacteria and calcifications.
5. Care of valves and slides: The valves should be regularly oiled and the slides greased. This daily maintenance ensures everything works smoothly.
