@J-Jericho said in Oiling trumpet:
I've said this before: I always oil valves before and after playing. Same for Amado water keys. Also, I floss and brush my teeth before playing.
OMG! I have been doing it so wrong all these years! I have been flossing my trumpet and oiling my teeth. No wonder I keep biting my tongue!

Thanks so much for this amazing history lesson! I had the great pleasure of playing behind Louie Bellson playing lead trumpet in a big band backing him up during a Rocky Mountain tour. I had the best seat in the house, standing on a riser standing just above the master drummer. An experience and memory that is one of the most special in my music career.

A new one I did just because I felt inspired.
This is plane to see it is on the plain.
Another recommendation that I observed as working well is watching how far people stand away from Vulgano Brother while he is wearing is pink Sargent Pepper full length coat.

I often find rabbit feces on my property, but no species.
And I have often tried to identify mothballs, but I just can't get their little legs spread far enough apart.

No. I'm pretty sure he's a veterinarian.
I do practice pediatrics... so not too far away from the truth.

I think I might have broken my middle toe, no less.
In that case I recommend you "buddy tape" your middle toe to your second toe for several weeks until it heals.
I experienced this first hand (and still have it intact, THANK GOD) when I traveled to Saudi Arabi with my Pocket Trumpet. I had it confiscated 3x at airports I traveled through at the time (in 2014). Each time, it was returned to me by a superior agent after I had the chance to plea with them that I only intended to practice the horn in the privacy of my hotel room with a silent mute attachment (that I took out of the case and showed them). In each case, the horn was returned with the warning not to play in public.
I did play it once, during a celebration party of my visit, way out in the desert after I thought I had silently walked away from the host, where I played Caravan. As fate would have in, several host diplomates followed me out into the desert (unbeknownst by me) and heard me playing. I turned around to see applause. I returned from that party, hands intact.

Well, now, maybe he's a witch doctor and put some kind of hex on you....
Nah... Hexes cost an extra $300, and is not typically covered by Medicare.
I just got this one for my wife... for an anniversary present . It's a bit on the other end of the size spectrum... but it is in black:
