ASSEMBLY
Assemble the trumpet by inserting the shank on the mouthpiece
into the leadpipe. Use a gentle twist motion. The fit should be
snug, but not too tight so it can later be removed.
HOLDING YOUR TRUMPET
The following diagrams show the proper placement of your left and right hands to play the
instrument.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The valves and the tuning slide should be oiled once or twice per week using valve oil for
brass instruments. Perform the following steps to oil the valves and slide. To avoid mixing
valves, remove only one at a time.
1. Unscrew one of the valve caps and lift
the valve out of the valve casing. Apply
a few drops of oil to each side of the
valve surface.

2. Slowly and gently insert the valve back into the valve
casing. The valve MUST line up with the valve guide
inside the valve casing. Twist the valve back and forth
until it locks into place. Tighten the valve cap.
3. Operate the valve several times to ensure it moves
smoothly and quickly through its full throw. Blow air
through the trumpet while operating the valve to
ensure it is properly oriented.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other two valves.
5. Turn the trumpet upside down, then unscrew one of the
valve covers. Clean out any gunk, then place a couple drops
of oil onto the bottom of the valve. Replace the valve cover,
then work the valve to ensure it moves smoothly through its
full throw. Repeat for the other two valves.
6. Pull the tuning slide out a couple of inches. Apply a couple of
drops of oil to each tube, then insert the tuning slide back in
place.
