I use this trick all the time when performing the 1st mvt. of the Brandenburg. Even Herbert Von Karajan had no idea I was doing it. On a gig where I play lead I even use 12 different size ducks so I can scream any note in tune. It can be a handful. The trick is keeping all your ducks in a row.
Yes it can you just need to do it right. You need to practice your tongue hight and compression that's all high notes are. Once I learned that high notes became a lot easier.
Wow! I have wasted years of practice to improve my range when all I needed was a rubber duck. I am tossing my Cat Anderson exercise books in the trash. Thanks Bruce for showing me the light.
+Steve Keville And do you know what that will do? it will ruin your muscles. If you are talking about using this for YEARS and YEARS to come, your muscles in your face (lips) will, well, you get the idea if you know what I mean. just like bench pressing. If you quit doing it, your muscles become flabby.
+James Ellis I've been seeing you losing your mind over people who've all been JOKINGLY saying that they have to do this. Nobody in their right mind would use this (for example) on a chair test. This is a parlor trick, not a legitimate strategy, and anyone who can't recognize that deserves last chair (and doesn't need you to tell them that).
Sniperkitify Because it sounds like people actually WANT to actually use it! I wouldn't want to use it as a party trick either. I'm sorry, but I have a communication disability. I don't interpret things right. I hope this clarifies things for you.
This is complete and utter bull crap! I love it!!! It's so funny! My trumpet teacher would kill me if I did this! I'm still laughing at how ridiculous this is. 😂😂😂🎺
I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. You are the best, Bruce. The comments are so great. Some of these guys are WAY too serious. We can still be artists on our instruments while enjoying having a quick look at our silly fascination with "how high can you play!" Keep it "up"!
I have seen this in many iterations including double high c, triple high c and higher with the reed or dog whistle placed into the mouthpiece backbore, leadpipe or tubing. Very funny! :)
Wow I was just screwing around with my range and I was feeling pretty juicy so I went for it and I was like where have I heard that pitch before? I just realized it was from this video. That squeak is actually very accurate to what someone inexperiences sounds like squeaking a double G
Hey Bruce great intiative concept.. Thanks for sharing. I found another concept which works on all three values with scales for increasing your range without trying.. The large tuning slide of the trumpet you can insert a smaller tube copper or brass from your local hardware store. You can put a protective layer of tape on the outer part of the tube, but not to much because it can be jammed in your trumpet. The air which enters the camber will go through the inner pipe and the tape will also prevent air going around the outer part of the pipe.. It basically makes your inner diameter dimension smaller and increase your ranger higher... Once again thanks for sharing your video with us.
Lol I did this to prank my trumpet co-players in my band xD Sticked it into the mouthpiece though. This trick was better! lol Have to do it again... in my new band 8) nobody knooows aahaha
I used a very small squeaker and then I used a hair pin (or what it is called) to push it down, and also to get it out, So it was like.. stuck in the mouthpiece :D It was very fun. I recommend it.
+carloszamora0710 Nope. I GUARANTEE you that your band director (If you are in high school) will notice. It doesn't even SOUND like a double G. But do you want to know what it sounds like? It sounds like an F student douchebag who thinks he can cheat his way to the top. Skill always beats luck.
Mariofart56 Same problem here. I may have misunderstood "snake" and used my pet cobra. He was not happy. One quick trip to the ER later, and I tried again, but i crushed up a Metal Gear Solid disc, assuming you meant to capitalize the 'S'. Many keks were had.
A lot like corking the bat. Always wanted to try that. So, obvious question for me is, how much higher can you rig a trumpet to go? Can barely stand the way they sound now, but still curious. Got some birds I could scare away with a modified trumpet bird blaster.
I instantly did this yesterday, used the reed of a small NERF - dog squeaker (which is VERY loud), some DIY rubber washers and put it into the 3rd valve pipe of my rotary valve trumpet. Wishing my weirdo trumpet-buddies a good summer by sharing 2 short clips, they can't stop speculating about my skills - hehe. This is really great fun, can't await trying it out in orchestra in front of the maestro. Good to know a doctor on tuba *LOL*
Is there a link to a squeaky toy online where I can get one that fits just right? I don’t wanna have it be too big and get stuck or have it too small and not work
can someone explain why at 2:53 when he plays the arpeggio why he doesnt have to push down the first valve? i dont understand, since he has to push down the valve for the lower octave note.
I wouldn't actually use it except for joking around but does it work for other notes or just high g if so what fingering do I have to do in order to run high scales
Amazing, I just to play in a little latin band in my country. We played just by ear the songs because unfortunately no one actually teach us tl read or write music. I buy my trumpet, but is so bad that I cannot play with others.. :( It was a really nice video Mr. Bruce and hopefully your dog is fine.
Hilarious! Works great too! Just bought a $1.25 squeaky toy, surgically removed the squeaker, implanted it (removably) in the slide, and voila. My squeaker gets me only to Double high F, but it's a super fun gag :)
Lol thanks, I did this at my band class and my director flipped out.
Fatty Mcgee where you find one ?
Lol what did he say ?
instructions unclear. squeaker now has permanent home inside of trumpet's third valve.
Have you tried using a cleaning kit
Instructions unclear, got dick stuck in the squeaker
Oml
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
@@RDash I-
this is why im first chair in our jazz band
i can play notes like that without the squeaky toy
+Ink sans the artist wow congrats
I can not care how high you can play, because this is obviously a joke Ink sans the artist
Mr. Zuillot oh...its no joke, im not a person who says jokes
is that zach??
we did this for my marching band and our band director yelled at us for it
Mine laughed as he's a fellow trumpet player
Nico Vazquez it’s pretty easy to take it out
Bullshit.

any tips I can only hit E above staff

Jayson get a life
Where you find them ?
john a I have no idea why but this is the best comment I've ever read 😂😂😂
was it possible to have the good tone while playing this ?
Do you have a recording of this movement ??
I'm pretty sure he was joking
yeahhhhhh ima stick to practicing
lmao same
Vexurath same here
yea lmao doesnt even sound like a trumpet
For double C I assume you need a squeaky mouse, not a duck? What does Arturo use to go above that? Maybe a blade of grass across the spit valve.
Or maybe practice
Practice can make you good my friend, but it can't guarantee a double G
Yes it can you just need to do it right. You need to practice your tongue hight and compression that's all high notes are. Once I learned that high notes became a lot easier.
Allan Birmantas Fue Chiste my friend, it was a joke
Jesse Cortez That has become my conclusion as well. However, figuring out how to do those two things has eluded me so far.

Katie K ridiculously brilliant...
Where was this when I was cut from my studio job for not having enough range. I can’t stop laughing for some reason
@@louisnathaniel5424 what notes did they want you to hit? Just curios
In fact, serious students shouldn't try this
I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. You are the best, Bruce. The comments are so great. Some of these guys are WAY too serious. We can still be artists on our instruments while enjoying having a quick look at our silly fascination with "how high can you play!" Keep it "up"!
When you realize chair testing is tomorrow. xD
bro this is actually how it be xD
If I eat one, will I be able to sing higher?..
Aaaahhhh!!!! ROFLOL 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂 STOP IT, NOT FAIR, I'M CRYING OVER HERE!!!! ROFLOL 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No, you’ll fart higher though.
or worse
Maybe if you belch 😂
I have seen this in many iterations including double high c, triple high c and higher with the reed or dog whistle placed into the mouthpiece backbore, leadpipe or tubing. Very funny! :)
Harrelson Trumpets how you do that ?
Hey, Mr. Schmidt, look at how much I've practiced over the summer!
Oh my god
Thanks to you all of our trumpets have been yelled at for putting squeakers in their valves while on the field😂
Wow I was just screwing around with my range and I was feeling pretty juicy so I went for it and I was like where have I heard that pitch before? I just realized it was from this video. That squeak is actually very accurate to what someone inexperiences sounds like squeaking a double G

Had a guy bring in two of the reeds. Fun ensued in marching band.
absolutely brilliant. I'd love to have half of this mood.
Easily the most efficient way at achieving these high notes with little effort. great video, I'll be sure to put this into use

take it easy, bud. I'm joking around. don't take things so seriously :p
+carloszamora0710 I just hope you're joking.
That's freakin' hilarious!
Manufactured by Warburton.
So THAT's what the 4th valve is for ...
Bruce, did you give up carving? It seems you have too much time in your hands.
Yes and yes. Be well and live long.
0:21 when you accidentally step on your bunny
I like your profile pic 😂
RIP doggo 😞
Qeuey I
If it looks stupid but works it ain't stupid
A Lone Loser it sounds like shit though
And with a straight face. Well delivered. Funny stuff!
That's one of the most creative tricks I've seen ! :D way to go !
Great video. I predict an increase in business for repair techs. Anyone know how to get a whatchamacallit out of a third valve slide? :)
Try gettng a snake and pushing it out

Same problem here. I may have misunderstood "snake" and used my pet cobra. He was not happy. One quick trip to the ER later, and I tried again, but i crushed up a Metal Gear Solid disc, assuming you meant to capitalize the 'S'.
Many keks were had.
Just to clarify. My comment about getting the thing stuck was just tongue-in-cheek. Great video. Very funny.
DON'T TELL THEM THAT!
+Genericide Were you really THAT stupid? he meant a snake brush.
My dog recognized the sound and is now looking for a squeeky toy! LOL
+Sharon Schall that's ALL I needed to hear.
Always knew you had a great sense of humor!
This is right up there with the flame-throwing trombone. Nice video.
But you have to know what key the duck is tuned to???
No
That is amazing! You made my day!
So you're telling me I just spent an entire summer practicing for nothing?!
But really, this is a ridiculously cool trick, thanks for showing us.
Where to buy it Is there a shop to recommend? Thank you.
Thanks a lot (sarcasm). I’m an over the road trucker and now when I practice I have animals showing up at my truck.
And I spent years developing my chops for nothing. lol
GENIUS!
So what happens if you do actually buzz through the modified valve?
You really made me laugh - thanks for that! Best wishes
Where do you get the rubber washer? Like in local stores, not in individual industries. (I mean like Walmart, Ross, etc.)
Thats HILARIOUS!!! Love it!!!
Yeah but then a flock of squeeze toy ducks land on your roof! Tears rolling down my face. Too funny! Thanks Bruce!
A lot like corking the bat.

I'm going to show my son... He'll get a kick out of this
The squeaker flew into my valve casing

After having a lousy day with subway delays and blisters on my feet this made me laugh and laugh and laugh... Oh man that was funny. Thanks!
Absolutely hilarious! I might have to do this around my friends and then show them the Shilkie 24 mp I play thru!

Love this man! Can't stop laughing
@Bruce Chidester
can you still do this without the washer piece
please where can i get all this materials. i really love this. i will take it back to Africa and wow my audience with this trick.
Walmart for all your high note needs.
It's a neat little trick, i am for sure gonna try this out just to mess around with it XD
Kirito kurosaki nice cavies pic ;)
Brilliant idea! I love it!
I wouldn't actually use it except for joking around but does it work for other notes or just high g if so what fingering do I have to do in order to run high scales
Man you are a genius, tried it today with my saxophone, what a success 🎷
I heard about this 35 years ago. It was fun then as it is now. I never tried it because I had the range, but I could have used it when I felt lazy!
very witty and funny. thanks!
That could work on the 4th valve of my tuba!
Did it? I'm wondering as a fellow tuba player.
Well, it's a neat trick that, obviously, works.. It makes me wonder if the pro's are doing this, as well..
From personal experience I guarantee you not.
No. they're called "pros" for a reason... they rely on actual ability and not party tricks.
Are u really THAT stupid?
Rich Pulin Are you really that insulting?
Ahem. They would not be pros then would they?
"Yeah, but you can't go through life just pushing down the third valve!" ~ Me
Great video. LOL Thanks for posting!! :-)
Great work Bruce
so hillarious!!!!
and the best answer to all these "I can reach higher than you" playrs
thanks for the vid!!!
:-)))))))
Just love it! :-))))))))))
You made my evening Sir! Thank you!
すげー!! 感動したｗｗ
What is that tune playing I. The back ground at the beginning?
It is interesting but what about g# low D and anything else that uses the 3rd valve?
I've always used that for my high notes. 40 years a pro and no one ever knew :)?
Bruce, this is great!
Niceee! Love this video, thank you sir!
FANTASTIC!!!! YOU ARE A GENIUOUS!!!!!
That Reed actually played the Right note
Brilliant!!
Lmaooo this is amazing I’m dead
Fantastic!
No one:
Every Trumpet player in existence:
“This is a good Idea”
Dear friend. I would like to know what is the use of getting these high notes. Personally I prefer a medium but pretty tone. (From Brasil)
Awesome, will definitely try this.
Bruce this is so hilarious to me
Amazing, I just to play in a little latin band in my country. We played just by ear the songs because unfortunately no one actually teach us tl read or write music. I buy my trumpet, but is so bad that I cannot play with others.. :(
It was a really nice video Mr. Bruce and hopefully your dog is fine.
Hilarious Bruce!!!!!
Hilarious! Works great too! Just bought a $1.25 squeaky toy, surgically removed the squeaker, implanted it (removably) in the slide, and voila. My squeaker gets me only to Double high F, but it's a super fun gag :)
Hilarious! Anything to get out of practicing!
This is hilarious!! I'm gunna try it sometime.
Can you use any squeaker from any toy, or this specific one?
Love it! Gotta go to Petco now...BYE!
Amazing... Man it sounds so much funny!
that's hilarious i didnt expect this thanks
Ha. Ha!! Brilliant!! Thanks so much for this!! :)
Pretty cool. Never knew you could do this
That was fun!!! I loved it!
I can hit a double g but I can't scream it. I've gotta try this out.
I tried it and my director was amazed. One day I took my slide out and it fell. My teacher said what’s that and I said My talent
