Re: C trumpet help

Yup what Nick said...

When I first got mine I started playing everything in C.

If I had music for Bb I transposed/transcribed it in C and used my C.

I often perfer to play my C over my Bb but still play both usually in the same gig. I have no trouble going from one to the other. You just have to get your ear right and the rest will follow; it did for me anyway.

Good luck!
John
