Re: C trumpet help

....and A's are waaaay to sharp. You'll need to kick the first slide out about 1/4" for those, and use the first slide for just about every 12 combination. The reason for the low C being flat can be attributed to our own laziness about using slides, so most of us have lipped down our 13 D on the Bb, so our brain, hearing that same pitch, tells us to lip down unconsciously. Weird!
