Warwick Music Group pTrumpet User manual

Thank you for purchasing pTrumpet, the world’s most innovative
all plastic trumpet. We hope you have many hours of fun.
Here are a few tips to help get you started. Don’t forget to register

pTrumpet is low maintenance, but it’s good practice to look after it, so
here are a few hints to keep it in top condition:
Cleaning
pTrumpet is completely made from plastic, making it very durable and
robust. It is also coated with antimicrobial technology BioCote – an
agent that kills microorganisms and inhibits their growth. To clean the
external surfaces, use a soft cloth with warm soapy water and dry the
instrument with a lint free cloth. We recommend that you clean the
instrument before rst use, being careful not to get soapy water into the
valve system.
Intonation
Like any trumpet, you may nd the intonation and harmonic range of
pTrumpet is different to abrass trumpet. pTrumpet has a completely
consistent bore size throughout the instrument, making it very free and
easy-blowing. Therefore, we advise against using excessively deep or
shallow cup mouthpieces.
Main Tuning Slide
The main tuning slide has two o-rings at the end of the slide tubes.
These improve air tightness of the instrument. Two spare o-rings are
included with the matching nger buttons.
We recommend that the main tuning
slide be placed about 10mm out
and then adjusted for performance
preference.

Valve System
The valve system is low maintenance - designed to operate without
any oil or lubrication. However, regular valve oil can be used sparingly
and applied thinly across each piston. You may nd the application of
valve oil or water does not improve valve performance, in which case,
clean and dry each piston and the inside of the valve casing thoroughly
with a lint free cloth.
If you nd the valves are sticking we recommend the following:
1) Remove each piston and clean and dry the piston and inside of the
valve casing with a lint free cloth. If you have used oil previously,
remove all oil thoroughly from the piston and inside of the valve
casing.
2) In the early stages of use, some wear of the piston surface is normal
and extra cleaning may be needed as the valve system beds in.
3) Ensure there is no obstruction or plastic residue inside the valve
casing itself, especially around the ports. You can run your ngertips
inside the valve casing to feel for any rough edges.
4) When playing pTrumpet, hold the valve block with a relaxed left
hand as excessive tension in the hand-grip may cause compression
of the valve casing and sticking of the valves.
Water Key
The water key sits ush inside the main
tuning slide to ensure a smooth internal
surface. It may appear that the water key
does not open. This is a characteristic
of our design. It does open far enough
to allow moisture to drain.
If you are concerned that the waterkey
is not working, here is a simple test.
Remove the main tuning slide and ll it f
ull of water. Then depress the water key
and you should see the water drain out.
PLEASE DO NOT le or try to modify
the water key to make it open further.

Removing and Replacing the Valves
To remove the valves, gently turn the bottom caps anti-clockwise about
10mm. Be careful that the piston does not fall out under its own weight.
You may wish to turn the instrument upside down.
Finally, secure the valve bottom cap by pushing upwards into the
bottom of the valve block and turning 10mm clockwise.
Right Hand Position
pTrumpet has been designed with the bell section higher than valve
casing. This is to ensure that the player uses the correct nger posture
with the player’s ngertips pushing down each piston. Playing with at
ngers will not be possible – sorry! You can also adjust and customize
the position of the ngertips on each individual piston using the
Matching Finger Buttons.
To replace the piston, place the
spring into the bottom cap –
the spring will t snuggly inside
the bottom cap center-ridge.
Look inside the bottom of the valve
block – you will see the key cutout
at the top end of the valve block.
Turn the piston so that the key shape
aligns with the inside key cutout of the
valve block. The piston will not fall into
place if it is not aligned correctly.
Remove the cap, spring
and valve piston.

Valve caps (adjustable)
pTrumpet is the only trumpet with adjustable valve caps which means
that you can tailor pTrumpet to create the perfect position for your
hands. So, whether you want to extend the reach for large hands,
reduce the valve block size for small hands, train ngers into the
correct position or accentuate a specic valve or combination – you
can do so with pTrumpet.
With a clever “click in place” design, the center of the caps can be
positioned over the piston or offset to create the perfect posture for all
ngers over the valves.
As you rotate the caps, the perfect
position for your hand can be created
with each nger adjusted to perfection.
Smaller, growing hands can have
constant adjustment, encouraging good
posture and reducing tension.
The unique design of the valve cap tops guides the nger pad into a
good playing position that is both mechanically efcient and relaxed.
The shape of the nger pad cup, valve cap surface and the centered
guide hole have all been carefully created to work together to guide the
nger without disrupting the player. The touch hole constantly reminds
the nger to keep its central, piston style position whilst playing.
Mouthpieces
pTrumpet includes a plastic 3C and 5C mouthpiece which are based
on the traditional Bach internal shapes. You may use any standard
brass mouthpiece but we recommend, given the nature of the plastic
material, that heavytop style or shallow mouthpiece cups may not
balance as well with our instrument.

pTrumpet is durable, but not indestructible! Here are a few tips to
help you enjoy and care for your new pTrumpet:
• Use a soft cloth and warm soapy water to clean your instrument and
be sure to rinse through before use.
• The main, rst and third valve tuning slides are all adjustable. When
new and from time to time apply a little tuning slide grease to the
black moving parts/tuning slide legs.
• Best results are achieved by lightly holding the valve block. Ensure
that the valve is completely clean and is free of obstruction - such as
excessive valve oil.
• Due to its innovative design, the instrument valves are functional dry
and do not require the use of an oil based lubricant for operation.
• You may use regular trumpet valve oil sparingly.
• All the valve pistons are the same.
• To remove the valves gently turn the valve bottom caps
anti-clockwise and remove the cap, spring and valve piston.
• To return the valve, place the piston back into the valve block, gently
twist to seat into its guide channel and push all the way in. Replace
the spring into the bottom valve cap, secure the valve bottom cap by
pushing upwards and twisting clockwise.

Ptrumpet – ÚDRŽBA NÁSTROJE
pTrumpet je velice robustní stavby, ale v žádném případě není
tento nástroj nezničitelný! Zde pár pomůcek pro údržbu Vašeho
nástroje:
• Používejte vždy měkký hadřík a teplou, mýdlovou vodu ( vodu s
mýdlem ) - pro utření ploch a vnitřní vyčištění plastových částí.
• Dolaďovací oblouček a 1. a 3. oblouček jsou pohyblivé části. Tedy
hlavně u nového nástroje a poté vždy čas od času se doporučuje
promazávat mazadlem pro funkčnost chodů obloučků .Nanášejte
vždy na černé, vnitřní části.
• Takto docílíte správný chod ventilů:
Strojivo / ventily vždy vytáčejte opatrně a ne násilím a přesvěčte
se, že jsou vždy pouzdra ventilů a samotné ventily čisté – jen takto
zabezpečíte nejlepší chod.
• Ventily / strojivo jsou funkční i bez samotného mazání a
nepoužívejte žádných jiných mazadel, olejů – než standardní jemný
olej pro perinetové ventily trumpet.
• Všechny 3 ventily jsou stejné a není závadou, když se tedy prohodí !
• Pro vyjmutí ventilů prosím ze spodní strany opatrně vytočte víčko
pouzdra pro ventily ( ve směru hodinových ručiček ), vysuňte
pružinu a pak samotný ventil .
• Pro zpětné nasazení ventilu opatrně ventil nasuňte, pootáčejte do
stran, až Vám boční rysky ventilu zapadnout do vnitřku pouzdra a
pak celý ventil dosuňte na doraz. Vsaďte zpět pružinu a zašroubujte
víčko ventilu a lehce jej bez násilí utáhněte.

pTrumpet Pegehinweise
Die pTrumpet ist sehr robust, aber nicht unzerstörbar! Hier sind
ein paar nützliche Hinweise, die ihnen bei der Pege ihrer neuen
pTrumpet helfen:
• Verwenden sie ein weiches Tuch und warmes Seifenwasser, um
ihr Instrument zu reinigen und spülen sie es gut durch bevor sie es
verwenden.
• Der Stimmzug sowie der 1. und 3. Ventilzug sind bewegliche Teile.
Bei einem neuen Instrument und dann von Zeit zu Zeit empehlt es
sich, etwas Zugfett an die schwarzen Innenzugrohre zu geben.
• So erreichen sie einen einwandfreien Ventilgang: Umfassen sie das
Maschinenteil nur leicht und unverkrampft. Stellen sie sicher, dass
die Ventile immer komplett sauber und frei von übermäßigem Ventilöl
sind.
• Auf Grund des neuartigen Designs funktionieren die Ventile auch im
trockenen Zustand und benötigen kein Schmiermittel auf Ölbasis.
• Sie können reguläres Trompetenöl verwenden aber bitte nur sehr
sparsam anwenden.
• Alle 3 Ventil-Wechsel sind gleich und untereinander austauschbar.
• Um die Ventile zu entnehmen, drehen sie vorsichtig die unteren
Ventildeckel entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn und entfernen sie so den
Schraubdeckel, die Ventilfeder und den Ventil-Wechsel.
• Zum Einsetzen der Ventile stecken sie den Ventil-Wechsel wieder in
die Ventilbüchse und drehen sie den Ventil-Wechsel vorsichtig, bis er
in den Führungsschlitz einrastet und sich komplett einschieben lässt.
Dann die Ventilfeder wieder unter den Ventil-Wechsel geben und mit
dem Schraubdeckel im Uhrzeigersinn festschrauben.

pTrumpet Care Card
pTrumpet on kestävä, muttei hajoamaton! Tässä muutamia vihjeitä,
joiden avulla voit nauttia ja huolehtia uudesta pTrumpetistas:
• Käytä pehmeää liinaa ja lämmintä saippuavettä instrumenttisi
puhdistukseen ja huuhtele soitin kauttaaltaan ennen käyttöä.
• Viritysputki ja venttiiliputket ovat kaikki säädettäviä. Käytä
uutuudeltaan ja siitä eteenpäin putkirasvaa mustille liikkuville putkien
osille.
• Parhaat tulokset saavutetaan pitämällä kevyesti vettiililohkosta.
Varmistu, että venttiili on täysinpuhdas ja vapaa tukoksista, kuten
liiallisesta venttiiliöljystä.
• Innovatiivisen suunnittelun ansiosta soittimen venttiilit toimivat
kuivina, eivätkä vaadi öljypohjaista voitelua käytössä.
• Käytä normaalia trumpetin venttiiliöljyä säästeliäästi.
• Kaikki venttiilimännät ovat samanlaisia.
• Poistaaksesi venttiilin varovasti, kierrä venttiilin pohjatulppaa
vastapäivään ja poista sekä se, että jousi ja mäntä.
• Palauttaaksesi venttiilin jälleen, aseta mäntä takaisin
venttiililohkoonsa, kierrä se kevyesti ohjurikanavaansa ja työnnä
paikoilleen. Aseta jousi ja pohjatulppa ja varmista tulppa työntämällä
ylösja kiertämällä sitä myötäpäivään.
