| Re: C trumpet help Just practice....
Well, it has another pitch and you need time to adjust your ear to it.
As a rule, C trumpets have few other intonation problems than B flats:
Middle C tends to be sharp, Middle D, E flat, and E tends to be flat.
Be prepared to use false fingerings to get the intonation right. Depending on the horn you may experience problems soundwise (some may sound a bit squeaky).
Get help from a local teacher or conductor (especially if he is a brass player)
