I agree 100% Trent. NOTHING can replace a Close Encounter in a Practice Room doing intensive work. I had students always looking for shortcuts that did not exist and will never exist. A horn is a tool. The Player has to learn how to use his horn/tool to efficiently and effectively control and master his instrument. No great or expensive horn will sound its best if the player doesn’t put the required time in to advance their skill sets. Period. Thanks Trent!!
Think you could do a video where you spend some time finding the “sweet spot” on a horn that you haven’t found it on yet? Would be cool to see that process.
I am experimenting with this on an Adams A4 LT... the brace means that you cannot attach with one elastic, so I had to attach with 2 elastics on each side of the brace. Makes it more difficult to find the sweet spot when using 2 elastics, I find. I do find that there is a difference but haven't found the sweet spot yet.
Thank you! I really appreciate your perspective and straightforward review. I was wondering if it might provide different feedback to the player in terms of the color of the sound and have less impact out the end of the bell?
Belief is dampened by the fact that it is attached to one of the valve slides, which is not even involved in the wind stream for the notes you were playing. The only thing I can think of is that it pulls the center of gravity back a wee bit, reducing the energy needed to balance the horn on the chops. Otherwise, it feels like snake brass to me. I will imagine attaching one to my trumpet and see whether I can find the sweet spot.
It’s not a matter of believing. It’s just physics. Not understanding physics doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I am sure you can feel how a different amount of gap changes the intonation and resistance of a trumpet. I’m equally sure you wouldn’t know how to explain in a proper scientific way how this physical phenomenon works. Yet… we all agree this is a thing. Ask Trent to send you one for trial, then I’ll be happy to make a video session with you to teach you how to use it. Then I’ll happily publish a video of how it went here on UA-cam. Deal?

Oh yeah they work, Antonio knows what he's doing! Great honest review there too Trent.
Yes they do

I think Antonio has a couple videos already up showing that check them out on his page
Pretty similar to LeFreque, I used a silver LeFreque with a bronze band on my trombone and instantly notice it

I wonder if I could apply this concept to my soprano trombone
Have you tried these on flugelhorns yet? If so, which model would you suggest?
I have and like the Bronze one on my Adams F3
Interesting
How much does it weigh ?

Deal?
Another gimmick. It makes absolutely no difference on either horn.
I own it. It does make a difference. Not make or brake but it does
Ha, tried one have you? There's a heap of very good players who think it does work, I think I'd trust them.
Have you tried it ?
It certainly works, but requires competence with the positioning.
@@Trollet532 I don't even know how to brake. I don't even know that.
