Anatomy of a Périnet piston valve.

Original - Anatomy of the first piston valve of a B♭ trumpet. When depressed, the valve will take the sound from the open trumpet (no valves down: C, G, C, E, G, C) down one whole step.

Reason

Technically OK, a detailed view that is not usually available.

• Conditional weak support - Interesting enough I guess, a little spacey but good probably. Really needs a better caption though especially mentioning the fact that this is from a trumpet. -Ben pcc (talk) 17:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

  I did not include it on purpose, because the piston valves found on tubas, saxhorns, flugelhorns and so on look the same, and present the exact same features in principle. In other words, I designed the caption so that the picture is presented as describing the concept of a piston valve, more than a specific trumpet piston valve (I hope I am clear). I'm ready to change it to "Anatomy of a trumpet piston valve" if you think it is better. --Eusebius (talk) 21:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

• Conditional support. Caption needs improving, and a description of the various parts would be nice on the description page. MER-C 09:10, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

  I've modified the caption to mention the trumpet. I'm unable to name or describe precisely the various parts. --Eusebius (talk) 11:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

  Nice, except that it might be slightly misleading (although accurate from the player's point of view): the open trumpet reads C/C/G/C/E/G/B♭/C, but plays B♭/B♭/F/B♭/D/F/A♭/B♭ (because it's a B♭ trumpet). I'm not sure there's a way to state it nicely. --Eusebius (talk) 08:09, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

  • True, not sure how to get that in that way either. Though the links bring you to places where you can figure that out, I guess. wadester16 17:05, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
    • I've included a link to Transposing instrument, I think it is enough. --Eusebius (talk) 21:12, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
      • Nicely done; perfect place and article to link. wadester16 07:36, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
• Support. Very accurate work. --Carioca (talk) 22:08, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Working on the whole instrument ;-) But it takes a lot of time... --Eusebius (talk) 08:29, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
• Weak support. Funnily enough I had just been thinking about doing a valve image myself. 'Weak' because the cutout on that green washer type thing fourth from the top looks to have been done a bit poorly. If I'm wrong, or if it gets fixed, change to full support. BTW agree with earlier comments on naming/description of parts - surely the names for these parts shouldn't be that hard to find? --jjron (talk) 13:36, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
