In China, about 2 years ago, I bought a trumpet. It's a pocket trumpet, in a lovely case, with a bag to keep it clean and grease for the thingies, you know, all the moving parts. It's really nice.
Today I learned that I can do circular breathing while playing the trumpet. This means I can, potentially, make an infinitely long single note on the trumpet, without running out of air to push through it, and without passing out.
However, I cannot make the trumpet make a nice noise, circular or not, no matter how I try. I can, though, make an infinitely long, horrible, discordant, cacophonous sound. I'll keep practising.
