Re: Total Newbie!

Welcome, you'll find anything you need here.

The same fingerings giving different notes has alot to do with air speed. Air passes through the horn in an ocillating wave created by the lips buzzing. The faster the air speed the faster the wave. The faster the wave the higher the note. Thats why you can get different notes with the same fingerings. The air is traveling through the same amount of tubing but at varying speeds. Hope that helps.
