Trumpet help?

How do you attach a trumpet liar (sp?) to a trumpet? Like the kind you would use in marching band. I found one in the trumpet case of th school trumpet I am using and would like to know how to use the liar.

Trumpet help?
Some trumpets have a hole where you can screw the lyre in.





Others lyres have a bracket that fits around the tubing and tightens with a screw. You then screw the lyre into the bracket.
Reply:It depends on what trumpet you play. Some trumpets have a square hole on the third valve slide that you can put the lyre in. In that case you would have to have a lyre with a long square l-shaped stem. There should be a screw on top of the square hole that you can loosen. You put the horizontal part of the lyre stem into that hole and tighten the screw. If your trumpet doesn't have that hole (mine doesn't) there's a lyre with a clamp at the bottom that you have to attach somewhere near the tuning slide, after that hook for your pinky. Hope this helps.
Reply:that guy above me is so stupid. a lyre is for holding sheet music. its not a mouthpiece. on my instrument theres a little rectangular hole with a screw.. you put the stick part in the hole and then tighten the screw and it'll stay. put ur music on it.. wellah





in case guy above me was talking about the mouthpiece... boil it, disinfect it, wash it with 4 different kinds of dishsoap 6 different kinds of disinfecting soap, bleach, put it under a fire. disinfect it again.. let it dry.. repeat cleaning.. wipe it dry... rinse it.. clean out the cup and shank... with cleaning devise.. rinse like mad.. put bleach through it... disinfect again.. rinse. wipe and use
