It can be difficult to find a musician who doesn’t like Brahms. After all, what’s not to like? The lush harmonies, the intelligent orchestrations, the appropriate use of all of our instruments so that we really do often sound our best when playing his music.
That lead me to think, is there a way to utilize these materials, written for a related instrument, by a master composer? I was of course a little hesitant to make any changes since Brahms really is a master composer and orchestrater, but I found that with careful handling of the material a way was found to a more useful application of these studies.
The result before you is one I am very excited about. First, I chose keys that were slightly less traveled than the ones originally chosen by Brahms. I also chose registers that I found technically challenging for our instrument. Finally, I contacted my friend and occasional partner-in-crime David Gilliland about the idea of composing piano accompaniments for these Studies, and to my delight David agreed to do just that, and I could not be more excited with the result!
The mute sounds really great, intonation is spot on and the handle makes it super easy to insert and take out very quickly. Only point that could be improved is a clean finishing. There are many unclean edges from the 3D Print. But overall my new fav straight mute.
By far the most freeblowing mute I've ever played on
By far the most freeblowing mute I've ever played on. The 2nd movement of Tomasi doesn't suck to play anymore.

My first impression of the book Trombone21 is great
My first impression of the book is great. The music included makes the book complete.
However, the book is a huge challenge for me. I have learned the tenor clef in the past, but not having used it at all since, so that is the first challenge.
I started practicing last week, July and August is the holiday period.
Furthermore, I love challenges; I am an amateur, and I have no other instrument available besides my tenor trombone. But that shouldn't be a problem.
I am happy with this book; I am going to use it with other practice material.

The composition is great
The composition is great. However, the engraving is sloppy. More attention to detail is necessary. Dynamics are not vertically aligned, some measures are too wide while others are to small making the notation hard to read. Also, multi-measure rests should be used more often. There were none in this piece and it could have used some. I had an issue with the file and I contacted customer service. The issue was resolved quickly, so the customer service was great!

As always I simply like the text in her books
As always I simply like the text in her books. Tons of experience shared with great insight. Prescriptions on how to execute the exercises is a game changer and I would recommend both her books to all my trombone friends. These books are important for getting the basics in order, sound, air-flow, breathing, relaxation and endurance just to mention a few great tips for taking your playing to next level. Dimply great books

The Arrival of Something Truly Unique in Bucket Mutes
I have been following the design process of this entry into the bucket mute family for some time. Love the fact that is driven by active professional performers. My feeling is that is is a NEW take on the 'traditional' bucket. Rather than filling the mute chamber with dampening material, the design team developed a SONIC DIFUSER that, along with the overall design components, makes this a completely unique interpretation that remains rooted in tradition.
Superior, design and build/materials. EASE OF USE -easy on/off. And the maker worked with me to ensure a proper bell fit with my large bell - and communication throughout the order process was nimble, responsive and efficient. Not for nothing, affordably priced.
