If you can't play it, you may as well spin it. Or better still, give it to someone who can play it! Picture this contraption on a trombone! :o

You can scoff but I recall watching a video of a college classmate's high school marching band at a contest.

The thing that really got the crowd excited was when the rifle girls spun their rifles.

Didn't matter what the band sounded like, didn't matter if the trumpet player nailed his Maynard solo, what really got them on their feet was those spinning rifles.

If you had a whole trumpet section spinning trumpets you'd have to hose out the bleachers after every show.

The trumpet players in my college band did a move that, executed at full speed, look like spin. It was actually just a wrist flip, but there was a lot of flash, especially if we were doing the show at night under the lights. Newbies often had to learn the hard way that their mouthpiece and/or third valve slide was not as secure as they though.

I've also seen a two-handed trumpet spin where the you hold the instrument vertical in front of you with your left index and middle fingers in front of the valve cluster and your right index and middle fingers behind the cluster. It doesn't work if there is a finger ring and/or tuning lever in the way. Once again, loose parts tend to go flying.

Aidan, I'm always impressed when I see those guys flipping those modern basses around. I did moves like that with a piston/rotor contra, but mine was significantly lighter than what they're using, and there were more good places to grab onto it.

Instructions for proper installation and use of the "Rota" by Voda:

1. Secure the mouthpiece by pounding it into the receiver with a large rawhide mallet.
2. Install "Rota" by wrapping velcro straps around trumpet valve cluster.
3. Spin the trumpet around repeatedly to draw attention away from the fact that you are not able to play the instrument.
4. After mouthpiece becomes dislodged and injures another musician, pay for their medical fees and your legal expenses.
5. Pound the mouthpiece into the receiver again (with more force than in step #1).
6. Pay a technician to replace your cracked mouthpiece receiver and repeat steps #1 - 5 again.
