4. Gebruiksaanwijzing

4.2 Producing Sound
Place the mouthpiece gently against your lips. Form an embouchure (lip position) and blow air through the mouthpiece, creating a buzzing sound. Pressing the valves changes the length of the air column, altering the pitch. Experiment with different valve combinations and air speeds to produce various notes.
