Product Description

The favorite practice aid of 50,000 brass professionals and students worldwide. Build your embouchure, endurance and range. Practice quietly with normal resistance and no back pressure. Achieve a fatter sound with drop-dead intonation. Available for Trumpet, Cornet, French horn, Trombone small and large shank and Tuba. The Clamp The BERP (Buzz Extention and Resistantce Piece) clamps firmly onto the open end of the receiver, with the mouthpiece removed. The clamp is designed to tighten around a round, hex or convex shaped opening. On some receivers which have an oversize ring at the opening, it may be necessary to push the clamp past that before tightening down. Most people prefer the Ultimate BERP to be lined up parallel to the receiver at the ''three o''clock'' position. You may experiment with it in other positions to determine what is best for you. Once the BERP is firmly attached, you can then alternate easily between buzzing and playing your instrument by switching the mouthpiece.The Resistance Dial The dial for the trumpet, horn and cornet BERP should be positioned below the holes and pushed up to cover however much of the holes creates the desired resistance. The dial on the BERP for trombones, euphoniums and tuba should be positioned above the holes and lowered to create the desired resistance. Beginners usually have a better chance of getting a good buzz with slightly more resistance. Once a good buzz is achieved, resistance on the BERP should then be dialed similar to that on the instrument.
