A Star is Born

OK, so I'm not Doc Severenson yet, but in less than two weeks I'm starting trumpet lessons. I got the trumpet in the mail Thursday night - a Kohlert 410L student model:




I took it out and proceeded to oil the valves, only to realize I didn't really know how to put them back in the right way. Fortunately for me they are pretty dummy-proof and youtube has many instructional videos on the subject. So far I am able to make some noise, nothing I would actually call "notes" but hey you gotta start somewhere.
