The BERP (Buzz Extension and Resistance Piece) - Available for All Brass Instruments
Transform your daily warmup and practice routine with one of the most trusted educational tools in the brass world! The BERP (Buzz Extension and Resistance Piece) is designed to bridge the gap between mouthpiece buzzing and actual playing, helping you lock in your pitch, air support, and embouchure efficiency regardless of what brass instrument you play.
The BERP clamps securely to your instrument's leadpipe, allowing you to insert your mouthpiece and buzz while holding the horn in its natural ergonomic position. Because you can still actuate your valves or move your slide along with the music while you buzz, it perfectly connects your ear, your fingers, and your air stream. It is an absolute game-changer for brass players of all levels looking to improve their tone, endurance, and accuracy before putting full air through the horn.

Adjustable Resistance: Features a built-in dial that allows you to adjust the airflow resistance to perfectly match the natural backpressure of your specific instrument.

-
Ear Training & Efficiency: Forces you to center your pitch and focus your air to find the correct partials without relying on the horn's natural acoustics to slot the notes for you.
