Bike&ed,
In order to play a DHC on the trumpet the wind has to hit the lips at such a speed that will cause them to vibrate at 1,906.61 times per second.
Or, drop the octave and to play a high C - raise the tongue 3/16 of a an inch and blow with 14 pounds of wind speed.

Thanks, I got my number by looking for the frequency of Bb7 on the web. Your number is close to what was listed for Bb6. Bb7 is considered DHC on at least 1 trumpet educational website that I found. Perhaps my nomenclature is incorrect, but the principle remains the same. This is about the only thing I can imagine the OP's quote meant, as the physical techniques everyone uses to play DHC are wildly disparate... |

I can think of one way that absolutely no one uses to successfully play a Double High C - arguing about how to do it on the Internet...  |

That's awesome, probably why you play it a LOT more assuredly then most of us! |

My goodness, is that information accurate? Who the heck has time to figure this stuff out?! Ha ha

Well, I have to admit, I probably would have been in trouble had the Internet existed back when I was putting in the time required to develop. All I had to resist were a couple of Atari Games (LOVED Asteroids).
Oh gosh, curiosity just got the best of me and now I'm in trouble:

I think we can agree when it comes to training yourself to play DHC, don't talk about it, "JUST DO IT!"

| For me, if depends on the player. I have particular difficulty playing in the upper register, but I have friends that can play a double C in their sleep. |
