Is Air Needed To Play The Trumpet

Why is this thread still alive?
Because it breathes air.
-
But I do agree - it's run long enough. I'll let it live another 24 hours or so, and then lock it. I think thats fair warning.
-
Wow, if remarkably benign, typical, and non-controversial threads need to be locked as a routine practice, that's a sad commentary on this forum.
-
@Kehaulani Someone keeps blowing life into it and it's not a breath of fresh air!
-
I will say, I have never understood locking threads that aren't belligerent in nature. On other forums I'm on, I've found more info to add to MY post and found it locked. Why?
-
Ok, if there is no need to lock it, I won't. Just wanted to test the general feeling.

This video will be an eye-opener for those that don't know that air is NOT needed to make a sound on a brass instrument. It's actually about exciting air molecules inside the brass instrument.
I believe the more accurate wording of this phase is ... air FLOW is NOT needed to make a sound on a brass instrument. Rather as this video demonstrates it is the pressure wave transmitted by the diaphragm that excites the air molecules within the instrument that then does the vibratory work producing the sound, yes?

Air is needed to play trumpet - as I just found out when a spitball got stuck.

At least it would be a highly efficient hit!
