Thank U very much.
Waht kind of "tool" do you refer to for the perpoise of transposing?
Pardon for bad English. I am Afrikaans speaking (South-Africa)

A C trumpet can be tuned down to a Bb trumpet pitch but will throw the instrument out of tune with itself.
A Bb trumpet can not be tuned up to a C trumpet because the lead pipe and tuning slide is too long.
In order to play with concert pitched instruments, you must learn to transpose (read one full step higher than is written for Bb trumpets).
If you want to learn how to transpose, check out this site....
