- The BERP is the preferred practice aid of thousands of brass professionals, teachers, band directors and students worldwide. Mario Guarneri has expanded the original BERP he invented in 1986 to include all the features you need for success on a brass instrument.
- ADJUSTABLE RESISTANCE The adjustable resistance dial slides over four holes allowing you to individualize your resistance. Buzzing with some resistance is essential to efficient sound production on the instrument
- EAR TRAINING Listening, correcting and relating the buzz to the notes on your instrument maximizes ear training. The BERP makes it without the help of the valves or slide. The side-by side design lets you switch between playing and buzzing instantly so that you can correct and reinforce what your ear is telling you
- PRACTICE QUIETLY The BERP can be used for a quiet practice routine that recreates normal resistance and no backpressure. Quiet practicing is constructive, not destructive when you use the BERP.
- X-RAY HEARING The Berp allows you to buzz on the mouthpiece at the same angle as you play, while fingering the pitches or moving the slide. Using the BERP exposes the root of the problem and allows you to hear the function of your air and embouchure. The Sound of your instrument often covers up the real problem, but the BERP gives you X-RAY hearing. No more watering the weeds; fix the problem instead of treating the symptoms
