Thanks for the recommendation, Eldon. I couldn't find a picture on the site. Is this the kind that usually sends air through the horn but leaks if you press too hard, or does it leak all the time? Simon On 2007/09/26, at 15:39, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: message: 15 date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 20:4

YES! I had one of the older metal BERPs, but lost it somewhere. I bought one of the clamp-on ones (I call it a Borg Implant), and I don't like it. Thanks for the tip! Gary --- Eldon Matlick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > True, BERP's used to be made of metal. The new ones > are now made of > pla

Last time I was in Dillons maybe a month ago I def saw the metal ones on the wall with the other ones. Perhaps they are out of stock now. Aleks Ozolins On Sep 21, 2007, at 3:23 PM, Rick Nadeau wrote: Hi Steve, You can get more information at BERP's website. http://www.berp.com/ They do

Hi Steve, You can get more information at BERP's website. http://www.berp.com/ They do not appear to make a metal one. The metal ones that I have seen (moosewood, etc.) actually fit inside the lead pipe and do not clamp onto it as does the BERP (much better solution in my mind as it doesn't

I don't think BERP makes a metal one (I certainly have been wrong before) but Chuck McAlexander makes a metal "burp like device" you might want to call him and clarify with the teacher. He or she should be able to show you what they are talking about. ___

I found it to be a great teaching tool, particularly when a student is having difficulty with a slur over a large interval. It is better (at least in my opinion) than holding the mouthpiece and buzzing, as you more closely simulate actual playing. Orlando -Original Message- From: [EMA

Hi all, Better than a berp is a score of the piece you are playing (or just a good ear). Find a tutti spot where you can quietly play a note of the chord. For example if you are playing a piano concerto in D, find a spot where you can quietly play along on a D concert (our A), or perhaps an A

What if it is at the beginning of the piece? Of course, picture that your nerves have gotten a hold of you, and you forget to move the mouthpiece from the BERP back on to the horn...Here comes the High Bnat ...PPFFFTT. Whoa Nelly. I doubt that there is a serious substitute for skill,
