Something wrong with my trumpet?

I have a trumpet that is extremely hard to play. It requires around 1 1/2 more effort than to play a trumpet at my school.


eg - School trumpets -%26gt; I can reach Space above line (G) with ease.


My trumpet -%26gt; I have to strain my embouchure just to reach (G).





The brand of trumpet I have, is called "Academy" and its a zip case.





It might be the mouthpiece because I can't warm up on my mouthpiece at all. Maybe I should get a new one?





By the way - I've been having trouble with this trumpet ever since I got it.

try a different mouth piece. if thtsa dont fix it, then it is the horn itself.


have you or anyone else ever removed the valves for any reason? if they are in the wrong place like 1 in 2 or 3 in 1


it wont work. they are usualy stamped on the valves as to what cylinder they go in. they also have a NOTCH on the valve soo it lines up right. after makeing sure of all this and it still dosent work right, then it needs to be dipped in a solution and cleaned by a professional.DO NOT TRY IT YOUR SELF
Reply:i play the trumpet, and have been for about 4 or 5 years. the problem u r having, im not sure, but try cleaning out the mouthpiece. check for dents in the trumpet itself. if the problem persists, then take it to a music and arts store. im sorry i cant help any more, but its kind of hard because it could be caused by a lot of different things. also, i have never heard of that brand of trumpet before. are u sure its a good quality brand?
Reply:idk wat either of the trumpets are made out of (silver plating...etc.). It also depends on the make, because some trumpets are more lightweight, and have a thinner metal, which makes the sound travel easier, as opposed to a trumpet with a heavier feel that is made up of heavier or thicker metal, which may inhibit the quality playing you usually play on a different instrument.
