Great video! When I worked in band instrument repair we would call a leadpipe torn off a trumpet that came into the shop a "Heydad" because the student would get their mouthpiece stuck and probably say "Hey Dad! Can you fix my trumpet?"

@davidabierman 11 лет назад

as a second generation trumpet player and a band instrument repair shop owner i have to say you are soooo correct in saying that "the instrument always tells the rest of the story about the damage to the instrument" especially when the trpt comes in 2 pieces with a broken #2 brace.... now it goes from a usually free be good will mp pull to a expensive re-solder job. the same goes for lack of lube on tuning slides a 1/2 cent of slide grease saves a expensive and sometimes involved repair.

@ApartmentKing66 5 лет назад

I once used two washcloths, one soaked in ice water, the other immersed in boiling water. I took the ice water cloth and wrapped it around the mouthpiece, and the boiling water cloth was wrapped around the leadpipe. The cold cloth made the mouthpiece contract, while the hot cloth made the leadpipe expand. I never touched a wrench, hammer, or anything that would mar, bend, or break the surfaces of the joint where the mouthpiece and leadpipe meet. Mouthpiece came right out. And no, the 200-degree water didn't hurt the leadpipe's finish at all.

@scienceaddict77 11 лет назад

When he said that the mouthpiece sometimes makes noise, i know the feeling. When i started on my cornet, (my father's, actually) he brought it out of storage and took it to have the mouthpiece he had gotten stuck some 30 odd years Ago removed. My band director was afraid of ruining the receiver with her bobcat. When it finally came out, people in the back of the store thought it was a gunshot.

@BriansBrian 6 лет назад

I did hit the mouthpeice receiver with my hand using a boi like structure ✋ and it came right out with a bit of force, note mine was stuck from being left in the trumpet too long.

Thank you for this. My trumpet has sat for too long and the mouthpiece got stuck. I was worried I'd have to bring it to the music store in a bag. I used the rubber back of some pliers. Tapped and pulled. Had to tap & pull a few times but it eventually came out. Now it's back in the case.

this video reminded me of a stubborn mouthpiece story, my director was trying to get a mouthpiece off of a marching baritone (we couldn't send it away because of a competition the next day) My director tapped it a bit with a rawhide hammer, didn't work, Put a lighter to it to expand the receiver a bit. Didn't work. So he pull out the mouthpiece puller (the last one shown in the video) and we set that on.

@pickin4you 7 лет назад

Easy fix that I thought of back when I was in 5th grade. Put the trumpet in the fridge for about 30 minutes and it comes right out. If its winter time, you can set it outside for about 45 minutes also. Soft metals will shrink when they get cold, and the mouthpiece will come out without any "STUPID" tapping with ANY hammer, or an expensive puller. Super simple fix and everyone seems to want to make it much harder than it is.

@Bubba_fett 5 лет назад

A little mechanical ability and some engineering knowledge and you don't need any of those tools. In your left hand, put the lead pipe starting at the tip joint of your fingers and then wrap your hand around as tight as you can. Let your hand muscles relax. Then with your right hand do the same on the mouthpiece and make sure your hand muscles are totally relaxed and as tightly together as your can. Now tighten your hand on the lead pipe, flex that muscle hard, then do the same with your right hand. Out pops the mouthpiece. It's the spreading of the muscles in your hand which pull the mouthpiece out of the horn. I used to do all the horns in band this way. You could hit that mouthpiece with a hammer and I could get it out.

Hi, I don't want to be negative as i like your video's and I am really sorry to disagree with you but the Bobcat mouthpiece puller will work perfectly with all instruments found in a brass band, from the Soprano cornet to the BBb bass (or Tuba to you lol). I know this because i have used it on all of them. There are even cheaper versions of the Bobcat available on eBay but the bobcat is the only tool needed in the brass band room for stuck mouthpieces ;)

Another way is to plug the mouthpiece with putty--take the tuning slide off, turn the trumpet upside down,and spray pb blaster through the leadpipe (4"deep) and let it sit over night. You can use this technique to unfreeze valves and tuning slides- just plug the spit valve with putty and spray in your blaster--until it fills up the pipe--let sit over night. Drain and Reuse your pb blaster to oil your tools etc

Mouthpiece got stuck on my baritone bugle. We rehearsed inside a building then went outdoors near Christmas time for a parade. The cold shrank the metals and I could not disassemble the horn for travel back home. So I laid it on the floor of my car and drove home ~30 minutes. After I went inside my house I put the horn in it's case with the mouthpiece hanging out. After I changed my clothing the horn assemble had heated up enough that I was able to remove the mouthpiece with minimal effort.

@jamesdavey5915 6 лет назад

One of the best ways to get the mouth piece out of most brass instruments is to blow hot air on the first 1/2 inch-1 inch of where the mouth piece goes in. Do that for 20 seconds to make the metal expand so that is easy to pull out the mouthpiece

@SharkPerformanceGaming 10 лет назад

@ApartmentKing66 9 лет назад

Shanna Kim One way that worked for me was two wash cloths. Submerge one in hot water, the other in ice water. Wear leather or rubber gloves to protect your hands from the hot water in the cloth. Wrap the hot wash cloth around the end of the lead pipe; wrap the cold cloth around the mouthpiece. The heat will expand the lead pipe, the cold will contract the mouthpiece. The two will pull apart. It may or may not work, depending on how far the mouthpiece is wrenched in. Like I said, it worked for me, but if it doesn't for you, a mouthpiece puller is the best way to get the mouthpiece out without damaging it or the rest of the horn.

@ajschlem 7 лет назад

Jason Peck The valve tube (where is goes) must have a spall dent on the exterior. Since there is a near perfect air seal, that would prevent it from fitting.

@Johnflugelhorn 11 лет назад

When my mouthpiece gets I take to the kitchen sink and hold it at the mouthpiece and leadpipe end and run hot water on it for about 60 seconds and that doesit. Running hot water on it causes the brass to expand and melts the buildup of gunk around the mouthpiece . I never take a hammer to any part of my trumpet.

The only thing that I can add is that the vast majority of the the stuck mouthpieces when they are removed you have to to true-up the end of the mp because they are out of round
