What is the fingering for the High F Sharp on a B Flat Trumpet?

Question

HELP I HAVE A BAND TEST TOMORROW

Answer 1

m.o is correct. The fingering for F# is 2nd valve.

However, if the question is a "concert" F# (that would be G# on the trumpet) the answer would be 2 & 3.

The trumpet is a transposing instrument, which means that it sounds a whole step lower than written. e.g. C sounds like Bb. If you want to convert from concert pitch to trumpet notes, you need to go up a whole step. (usually one note name - e.g. concert F is played as a G on the trumpet.)

This could be a curveball in your test.

Answer 2

I play the mellophone for marching band in a Big 10 Marching Band, and we use (I do at least) valve 2 for a high F sharp, on the scale.

The Mellophone and trumpet have almost, if not identical fingerings.

There are many sites online for fingering charts. I enclosed one for your benefit, which agrees with me in saying it is fingering valve number two...same as a mello.

Answer 3

A B-flat trumpet reading an F# would finger it with the second valve.

Answer 4

sharps, flats, and regular notes all have their different fingerings. for instance, a low c and a middle g have the same fingerings: open. all you have to do is blow more air. cromatic scales are scales that go up half steps. they include sharps and flats. Sharps and flats are the same as any other notes, just with different names.

Answer 5

If you're talking about the F sharp but still on the measure lines then the answer is 1st valve but the highest F sharp is off the measure higher than High C is 2nd valve

Answer 6

Answer 7

did you try googling it on the web. maybe there is a website for keys on the trumpet.

Answer 8

Your question is why I prefer the guitar--same formation that F major has except a half step up.
