*If air does not pass through the instrument when the piston is fully depressed, the piston may be placed in the wrong valve casing. Make sure that the numbers stamped on the piston and valve casing match.

The piston is the most important part of the trumpet.

Never treat the pistons roughly, drop the piston, or let the piston fall, etc. If the piston becomes damaged or dented, never return it to the valve casing. Contact the dealer from whom you purchased the instrument.
