Trumpeters often don't use their nose to play.
Have you heard my father blow his nose? I beg to differ
That was my first thought but can dolphins breathe out of their mouths?
*Searching say no. Can I say duckduckgoing? Ducking? Ducking says no. Separate breathing and feeding tubes. We should do that.
**More ducking says "Until recently it was thought that dolphins could not breathe through their mouths in the same way as people can, only through their blowholes. However, in 2016 scientists discovered a New Zealand dolphin with a damaged blowhole who had learnt to breathe through his or her mouth."
I just say search, but Kagi brought me to this.

I just say Google hoping that the trademark will eventually become generalized like escalator
Computer says no.
AHEM
One time my brother played the recorder using his nose, we were all thoroughly impressed and never again touched that thing.
... there is another ...
is nsfw a thing for comments?
Spoiler tag maybe
"a butt tuba" spelled backwards is "a butt tuba"

Unlike most of these sorts of things, this one has a definite answer: 2. They cannot blow air out of their mouths. However, since they have no hands to work the valves, it wouldn't sound too good, assuming they could get it to stay in place to begin with.
assuming they could get it to stay in place to begin with.
Perhaps the mouthpiece would serve as a "flared base," as it were.
We might have bigger problems if you've been inserting the flared base first.
TIL that dolphins are incapable of being mouth breathers.
Valves aren't needed to "sound too good", they're needed to get more notes. Without valves, you've still got the harmonic series. Any piece played on bugle could also be played on trumpet. And the majority of classical compositions up until the late 19th century. (All classical compositions until the early 19th century.)
From what I know about dolphins, they're more likely to fuck it than play it.
As far as I know now just dolphin's~
Knowing about dolphins - neither, they would just fuck it.
I mean, you toot with your mouth, not your nose, so 1.
When I toot, it's neither with my mouth nor my nose.
Knowing what I know about dolphins it would probably just try to fuck it
They could just easily use it to hit each other.
They have to play in pairs
Bro they only play the tuba, it is known
2 Ez
Its obviously number one. How can they hold the trumpet while blowing if not in the beak, mouth or whatever its called.
That's either a tiny dolphin or a massive trumpet
Why not both at the same time?
Lung capacity
Depends on how they're wearing their pants.
Neither! Just air moving through the trumpet doesn't make noise. You go brrrrrrrrr into the mouthpiece with your lips to produce sound.
It's more like pfffff rather than brrrrrr but yeah.
Couldn't they play two at once?
No, they are unable to breathe through their mouths at all. Their respiratory system is bonkers compared to other mammals. Their blowhole is one nostril,which is used for breathing , while the other nostril is located in their skull and is used for echolocation and vocalizations.
Could you?
Of course 💨
Yeah, probably.
3 if you put one in the poophole, 4 if it's a lady dolphina
A dolphin would likely play something more like a trombone with an articulating system of pipes that could be played through vigorous contortions of the body. Think playing a trombone but with a hula hooping/swimming motion. Perhaps a small lever could extend out to the dolphin flipper that would allow nuanced fine pitch control with lateral contortions of the dolphin’s flipper.
