In this video lesson, Nick Drozdoff demontrates an interesting experiment: Can the un-amplified sound of a New York Trumpet Company California Stage 1 model Bb trumpet shatter this wine glass? Nick Drozdoff was able to shatter this cheap wine glass after class one day horsing around while some kids were doing some homework in the back of the lab. Normally this demo is done using a speaker to drive a beaker, but he thought it would be fun to do with the horn.

This will also be included on Nick Drozdoff's Science Olympiad page.

Ever wonder how a musical brass instrument such as the trumpet works in terms of physical and scientific phenomena?

In this course, professional trumpeter and Physics teacher Nick Drozdoff gives 10 video lessons explaining the beautiful connection between Physics and Music, focusing on the mechanism behind the trumpet.
