<br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That reminds me, My trumpet has the mouth piece jammed on. (I think it was dropped in my abscence and as such I can't close the lid to my trumpet case. Know a way to get it off? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />http://images.music123.com/products/full/Bobcat/bobcat.jpg <br /> <br />above is a link to an absolutely wonderful device for that exact situation....it's a nice (fairly inexpensive mouthpiece puller). Very easy to use. I had a student the other day bring in a trumpet....dad tried to remove the mouthpiece with plyers....of course damaged the trumpet a bit......this device works very well....but if you want something that works on the spot....try a lighter....hold it up to the source of the problem...where the mouthpiece goes into the trumpet.....get it good and hot.....then I usually hold the trumpet towards the floor and use a soft type of mallet like one for a marimba and just hit the lip of the mouthpiece towards the floor....It usually just pops right out....of course you'll have to find something soft but firm to hit with so not to damage the trumpet. Heat does the trick most times....if that doesn't work stop by a music store and they should be able to pull it out for you with one of these devices.....or buy one for the future....be sure to clean it out after you get the mouthpiece out....most times it dirt that made the mouthpiece stick in the first place. (most times with some exceptions) <br /> <br />Wow, that was a question I knew how to answer for a change!!! <br />
