[edit] Summary
The musical overtone series that a trumpet (and other three-valve brass instruments) can produce with each valve combination. Create with Finale 2000 and Photoshop 4.0 LE by Special-T.

[edit] Long description
Note that the fingering schema arises from the length of each valve's tubing (air passing through longer lengths of tubing produces a lower pitch). Valve "1" increases the tubing length enough to lower the pitch by one whole step, valve "2" by one half step, and valve "3" by one and a half steps. Extending the third valve slide when the third valve is in use further lowers the pitch slightly to improve intonation.
