[. . . ] Discoloration in its early stage can easily be removed with maintenance. (As discoloration progresses, it may be difficult to remove. ) * Please use the accessories that are specified for use with the particular type of finish found on the instrument. Also, metal polishes remove a thin layer of the finish's top coat which will make the finish thinner. Please be aware of this before using polish. 15 Nomenclature Trumpet 1st Valve 2nd Valve Mouthpiece Receiver Cap Mouthpiece Lead Pipe 3rd Valve Finger Hook 3rd Valve Water Key Bell 1st Valve Slide Hook 1st Valve Slide Cap 2nd Valve Slide 3rd Valve Slide Ring 3rd Valve Slide Main Water Key Main Tuning Slide Valve Casing 3rd Valve Slide Stopper Screw Cornet 1st Valve 2nd Valve Mouthpiece Receiver Mouthpiece 3rd Valve Cap Finger Hook Bell Lead Pipe 3rd Valve Water Key 1st Valve Slide Hook 1st Valve Slide 2nd Valve Slide 3rd Valve Slide Ring 3rd Valve Slide Main Tuning Slide Valve Casing Main Water Key 16 Nomenclature Flugelhorn 1st Valve 2nd Valve 3rd Valve Mouthpiece Receiver Mouthpiece Cap Finger Hook Bell 2nd Valve Slide Cap 1st Valve Slide Valve Casing 1st Valve Water Key 3rd Valve Water Key Main Water Key 3rd Valve Slide Trigger 3rd Valve Slide Rotary Trumpet Bell Mouthpiece Receiver Mouthpiece Lead Pipe 3rd Valve Slide Trigger 1st Valve 2nd Valve 3rd Valve Main Water Key 3rd Valve Water Key 3rd Valve Slide Main Tuning Slide * Specifications and/or design may change for reasons of improvement without notice. 17 Before You Play Handling the Instrument As the trumpet is made of thin metal, handle the instrument carefully.

Do not apply any excessive force, or bump the instrument so as to dent or damage it. Applying Oil Apply oil to the pistons Applying Oil To The Rotors (Rotary Trumpets Only) 1. Unscrew the valve cap and pull the piston straight out of the valve casing until about half of the valve piston is exposed. ton. Valve oil Piston 1. Hold the lever down and remove the valve slide. * If the valve slide is removed without holding the lever down, air pressure in the pipe drops creating a suction that can cause poor rotor function or damage to the inside of the pipe. 2. Apply some rotor oil to the rotor and then move the lever a few times to distribute the oil evenly. * Do not apply too much oil. At this time, make sure the number stamped on the piston is facing the mouthpiece. After the valve cap is tightened firmly, move the piston up and down a few times to distribute the oil over the piston evenly. Number * To keep oil from mixing with the slide grease or dirt inside of the pipe, hold the oil container's spout so that is does not come into contact with the inner walls of the pipe. * Since the oil container's spout is metallic, be careful not to let the spout come into direct contact with the rotor. 3. Hold the lever down and replace the valve slide. * If all pistons have been removed from the valve casings, make sure the number stamped on the piston matches the number stamped on the casing before returning the piston into the valve casing. * The pistons must be oiled for them to function properly and smoothly. * If you replace the valve slide without holding the lever down, pressure built up inside the pipe can cause poor rotor function or damage to the inside of the pipe. 18 Before You Play Applying Oil To The Valve Slides 1. Do not rotate the piston in the valve casing. 1. Wrap the cleaning rod with gauze leaving no bare metal exposed. Cleaning rod Number Gauze 5. * Exposed metal can result in damaged valve casings or pistons. Apply valve oil to the piston. Valve oil 2. * If air does not pass through the instrument when the piston is fully depressed, the piston may be placed in the wrong valve casing. Make sure that the numbers stamped on the piston and valve casing match. The piston is the most important part of the trumpet. Never treat the pistons roughly, drop the piston, or let the piston fall, etc. If the piston becomes damaged or dented, never return it to the valve casing. Contact the dealer from whom you purchased the instrument. 22 Maintenance Rotor maintenance (Rotary trumpets only) Valve slide maintenance 1. Remove the rotary valve cap and apply some rotor spindle oil to the place to the spindle in the center of the rotor. Rotor spindle oil 1. Apply a thin coating of slide grease to the main tuning slide, 2nd valve slide, and valve slides that are not equipped with a slide trigger. Slide grease Main tuning slide 2. Replace the rotary valve cap and move the lever a few times to distribute the oil evenly. 2. Slide the main tuning slide back and forth a few times to distribute the grease evenly. Main tuning slide 3. On the 1st and 3rd valves, which are equipped with slide triggers, apply a small amount of tuning slide oil to the tuning slides. Tuning slide oil Apply here. 3rd Valve Slide 23 Maintenance Twice Yearly Maintenance Cleaning the instrument Cleaning the mouthpiece 1. 1. Make a brass soap water solution.
