Berp BERP4 Trombone Small Shank Buzz Extension Resistance Piece

The buzz extension and resistance piece, better known as The Berp, helps you develop proper breath support by blowing into resistance, letting you buzz your mouthpiece while you hold your instrument in the regular playing position. The Berp also lets you press your instrument’s valves or move the slide to match the pitches you’re buzzing, so you gain ear-training benefits through reinforcing the connection between buzzing the mouthpiece and playing. Buzzing the mouthpiece exposes what you’re doing or not doing with your air and embouchure. A good buzz on the berp translates into a great sound on the instrument. The berp makes buzzing efficient and relevant by recreating the resistance of the instrument and allowing you to finger the valves or move the slide to the pitch you’re buzzing. The berp exposes sound production problems before the sound is amplified by the mouthpiece and instrument.
