Yes, but what Kopprasch etude would be ideal for him to use to improve this technique?

A pro, or perhaps even a good student, could play on one of those cheap import singles and make them sound respectable. However, for some, whose playing is similar to mine, I still find that getting a horn, mouthpiece and other enhancements that assist me, can make a remarkable difference to what I present to an audience. Although I feel I'm still improving, I'm not on a steep learning curve, as I have chosen to dedicate the majority of my time to other endeavors this year. As a matter of fact, I just came in from wrestling with an alpaca so the vet could give the alpaca his annual shots. (Yes, we rolled a full 360, with me hanging onto him the whole way in a very unpleasant part of the pasture, but he got his shots!--probably more information than you need. My issue is that although I'm still improving, I do not have hours to practice each day and often find myself only able to play a few times a week right now. I still want to present the best product I can to an audience and to do that I often search out equipment that will assist me. Hopefully next year will be a more practice/performance friendly year. Until then, I'm hoping that the audience will forgive my leaning on equipment for help in presenting to them the best performance I can.
