I have every Bass Trombone mute from MorningStar mutes. Each is impeccable in quality, and sound, as well as build, has great intonation, and does not make my horns play sharp. I consider they used to be master-crafted mutes, and well worth the price paid.
I have been looking for a good cross training routine for a while. When this came out, I thought I found the one. I was a bit upset to find out that it wasn’t for print music readers and designed for iPad users, which I am not. I tried it, and several of the audio files don’t match the exercises they are with. I don’t have good volume for the play tracks, but printed the book for use. The author and publisher did not seem interested in making a CD or audio track file for more traditional users to make a playlist. It has a ton of potential, however I wasted a bit of money on this and the reader they suggested stopped being supported.
Dear Dr. Green, I feel so badly to read this review. How old is your edition please? It's been a long while since I suggested specific PFD readers in this publication, and I'd love to pring you up to date to the latest version of the book and MP3s. With thanks!
Great transcription, fun to play and challenging enough, but not too hard for intermediate and advanced players
