TIPCODES TRUMPET AND TROMBONE

Tipcode:

TRP-002

The trumpet and the flugelhorn can be used in a wide variety of styles. Many players play both instruments. Others specialize in either one of the two.

TRP-003

This Tipcodes demonstrates the first five notes that you can play without using the valves.

TRP-004

Pressing the second valve allows you to play a series of notes that sound a half step lower, as you can see and hear in this Tipcode.

TRP-005

Here you can see and hear how the third valve slide trigger can be used to adjust the pitch of sharp notes.

TRP-007

Remove the second valve slide to see what happens inside when depressing the valve.

TRP-008

This Tipcode shows you how you can check your trombone slide for leaks.

TRP-009

TRP-011

In Tipcode TRP-011 you can hear the effect of a harmon mute.

TRP-012

This Tipcode briefly demonstrates are some characteristic plunger effects.

TRP-013

This short movie shows you how to assemble a trombone step by step.

TRP-014

This Tipcode plays the reference pitch A=440. You can repeat this Tipcode as often as you like while tuning your instrument.

TRP-015

The tuning fork in this Tipcode is tuned to A=440 as well.

TRP-016

If you start with a fully extended tuning slide, you will hear the pitch go up as you pull it in slowly.

TRP-017

The difference between A=440 and A=442 may not be that obvious at first. Playing the two pitches simultaneously clearly produces two ‘beats’ per second, caused by the 2Hz pitch difference.

TRP-018

This Tipcode provides a brief demonstration of lubricating a rotary valve.

TRP-019

Here’s how you can remove a jammed slide with a cloth.

TRP-020

This final Tipcode takes you on a brief tour to a brasswind factory, where you will see — among other things — how a bell is hammered into shape.
