Problem with my trumpet

Ok it's concert season time now and now it's time to turn the volume down now. The other day my band was warming up and I noticed somthing very strang going on with my horn and mouth piece...it was smoking... That's the 1st time I ever saw that happen in all my 5 years and my cousin/section leader was kinda turned sideways on that to... Soooo ummmm anybody know whats up with that???

    nah I don't think that's it... lol

    but for real, that's happened during marching season to me a few times.. course not during warm ups.. and usually only when it's cold and you're playing with hot air.. which is if I'm taught correctly you're supposed to be doing.
    so if it was cold, then I could guess that's it?
  • IT MEANS YOU ON FIRE lol jk but uhh its probably spit particles evaporating lol cuz mine used to do that when i played with force, either that or uhh im not sure
  • Its more than likely the spit. My horn used to all the time when I would crank up. "Smoke" would come out of my bell. Matter of fact over half our brass members had it happen when I was in high school. Sometimes people would trip out but it was nothing special to us after a while. Yeah it happens from force. Shouldn't happen during concert season. If it is, you could be playing way too hard.

    If its the horn it couldn't be too many things. The horn isn't much more than valves and a frame. You could have a leak somewhere where your spit is being pushed out in vapor form. If thats the case take it to the shop. Aside from that....well...you could have chemicals in your horn. Also you could have a bunch of crap in your horn that needs to be cleaned out. Maybe you eat too much junk or just haven't cleaned your trumpet...ever.

    OR THIS

    When I was in middle school and I used to play sax. The stuffing from my case was filtering into my horn. When I played....the dust sprayed.
