How do I maintain a trumpet?

A little attention goes a long way when looking after a brass trumpet. Regularly oil the valves, grease the slides, and check that all parts move freely. Avoid using household oils or lubricants and only use products designed for brass instruments.

Thanks to our work with Yamaha Music UK, we’re able to share these maintenance best practices with music hubs across the UK, helping to extend the life and playability of every trumpet.
