Just-a-pipe! Now for sale here on medlinhorns.com

I had these at the Southeast Horn Workshop and will now offer them for sale on my website. These pipes simulate your leadpipe, minus the rest of the horn (just the pipe!) to give your chops the resistance that they need to form a correct embouchure.
As many teachers will tell you, free buzzing or buzzing on the mouthpiece alone does not give you the same embouchure as playing on the horn (one teacher I read said only about 60% the same). To get a similar experience to the horn, you need to add a bit of resistance which is why many teachers suggest a BERP. My just-a-pipe uses acoustic reflections to provide resistance instead of simple air resistance like the BERP’s use. Reflection is what occurs inside the horn so my pipe gives you the correct amount of resistance, but also the same type!
