I decided to make a model of my trumpet. Then I decided to go farther and show how to play the notes, and how the trumpet works. I eyeballed the trumpet model off of my real trumpet. Hand-made in about 40 minutes. Credit to natstar for the note scale.

    @MG99 lol @planetarylibrarian True, although it would have made the save slightly cramped if I added that info.

    Why are multiple notes using the same hole pattern?
