The BERP — short for Buzz Extension and Resistance Piece — is a simple but genuinely useful practice tool for trombone players. It clamps onto your horn's leadpipe and accepts your mouthpiece, letting you buzz in your normal playing position with the same resistance you'd feel when actually playing. The result: your practice transfers more directly to the instrument, because the angle, feel, and air resistance are all the same.
This BERP4 is sized for small shank trombone, and also works with small shank baritone and euphonium. The adjustable resistance dial lets you tune the airflow to match your instrument's feel — dial it up for more resistance, back it off to open things up. Because air isn't going into the instrument, the BERP is also a quieter alternative to full-volume practice, which makes it handy for apartments, backstage warm-ups, or anywhere noise is a concern. The clamp is designed to fit round, hex, or convex receiver openings.
