the third button
Wilmer, I have always wondered why we have to have three buttons on the trumpet. Seems like too much to keep track of. I try not to use the third one whenever possible, because there is i good reason i play an instrument that only has three buttons! Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I recall seeing you play a horn that has four buttons. You played it quite well as I recall

Welcome Dave Schneck.

Re: the third button
The time with four buttons was a moment of temporary insanity. Since then I realized that natural trumpet has NO buttons. I am becoming a fan.

Re: the third button
If you find 3 buttons confusing, then there won't be many if any instruments you can play. How do you try not to use the third button when it's necessary for notes?? I take it your a newcomer to trumpet?

I don't think he is a newcomer, hah -

Re: the third button
The third button is the octave key in case you break off the pinky ring!

The technical term is the Auxiliary octave piston.

So you like NO buttons ? You must have an Amish influence in your past somewhere. Perhaps we could fit your horn with hooks and straps instead. It would be more plain. More natural .

And Wilmer, you're right. He sure mangled that piece ! Now if only I could learn to mangle like that !
