“Music is exciting. It is thrilling to be sitting in a group of musicians playing (more or less) the same piece of music. You are part of a great, powerful, vibrant entity. And nothing beats the feeling you get when you've practiced a difficult section over and over and finally get it right. (yes, even on the wood block.) Music is important. It says things your heart can't say any other way, and in a language everyone speaks. Music crosses borders, turns smiles into frowns, and vice versa. These observations are shared with a hope: that, when schools cut back on music classes, they really think about what they're doing - and don't take music for granted."

That was really cool. I never knew what it really took to make a trumpet or how long it took.

That was boring and interesting at the same time. Band and science should never mix.

That is so cool! I can't believe the ice didn't shatter when it was bent even though it had soap in it(which I don't get how it helps at all). I didn't realize it took that many steps ,or that long to make a trumpet.
WOW!!
with all that bending and scraping.......Anything and every thing that is shown beying done to the trumpet including that first part. It made, No it was a long flattened piece of junk.When they finished .......it was incredible!!!!!!
I never thought that a trumpet took so long to make a trumpet. It was really cool how it is made.

I think the hardest part of making a trumpet would be when you fold the sheet of brass straight down the middle.
That was boring and interesting at the same time. I can't believe that is what my trumpet looked like before I got it.

Sweet. Pretty complicated chunk of metal =D Chace w.
I always wondered how people made a trumpet
I think it's simply amazing how you can take scrap sheets of brass, and turn it into a shiny, high quality instrument such as a trumpet in just those steps. It looks like it would be a fun experience to try and make one yourself and see how it turns out.
