You are basically buzzing a rim. Not playing the instrument. I don't see the benefit of forcing a buzz into ZERO resonance.

@ThomasHooten, I’m hoping to start using the embosure- do you recommend the metal version over the SE? What differences do you experience between the two? I am a college student, so the price of the SE is attractive. But I don’t want to compromise the benefit I could have. Anyone else have any thoughts between the two?

@ThomasHooten 8 күн бұрын

I think the SE can be just great for you. The all metal is preferred by some because of the weight. but the concepts work the same. Try the SE. If you find later on that you would prefer the metal, then I'll give you a discount.

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it! I’m excited to have a new tool. And thank you for the offer! If I decide I want the metal later I’ll let you know!

Great playing, questionable writing. A lyrical passage like this with some upper register to it should be on open horn, or failing that harmon mute. Cup mute doesn’t work. No point of writing for trumpet if you don’t want the sound of a trumpet.

Dear Mr Hooten, Is this device also available for bigger brass instruments such as Trombone? Best regards from Switzerland, Lukas

@ThomasHooten Ай бұрын

Short answer is almost. I have a prototype built.

@MyLuek Ай бұрын

@ Wow! Thanks for the quick reply. I am very interested in this device. Can you estimate when it will be available? I would be happy to test it. I currently do exercises similar to the ones you suggest simply on my mouthpiece and on the ring. I made it myself. It looks something like what I once saw at Arnold Jacobs. The buzzing especially on the ring causes my tongue to move further forward. I am gradually succeeding in implementing this tongue position on the mouthpiece and on the instrument. Whenever I succeed, I play more relaxed, with better upper register and much more stamina. But I don't always succeed. I am convinced that your device is even more efficient to achieve optimal physical function. Please let me know when the device for lower brass is also available. I would also buy a prototype. Have a nice day!

Thanks for the question. Most if not everyone “pins” to some degree. The key is to develop enough strength (different for everyone) to make flexibility of lip possible inside the cup.

2:30 Does your tounge touch your bottom lip while beeing between your teeth? Is this the position to create the intense buzz and is it your usual trumpet playing position?

@ThomasHooten 3 ай бұрын

Hi thanks for the question. I've been experimenting more with the tongue to the lips to help bring a sense of awareness and engagement around overall orbicular need to help maintain focus and flexibility to that spot. I know that's a mouth full but hopefully it makes sense. so to answer the question. yes but the tongue doesn't stay touching it. just pulls back a tiny bit to release the air.

@EEE85- 3 ай бұрын

@@ThomasHooten thanks for your reply. When my tounge touches the lower lip I feel a strong tingle there and the buzz is more intense and stronger. But this way I could not play the trumpet. My tongue is usually placed behind my bottom teeth.

@ThomasHooten 3 ай бұрын

I think it’s ok to not play exactly like that. Overall awareness and a little dose of experimentation

Hello Tom. I just ordered an Embosure. It hasn't come yet. But I'm confused looking at this video based on what you're saying and demonstrating from about 5:25 to about 5:30. There you are slurring where it looks like you are manipulating your face/mouth to slur, especially ascending up the scale. (Don't know how else to describe your facial movements). Are you saying that is the way to slur up & down; that's the way to do it; because it sounds great! If not, can you describe the proper way to ascend? Looks like you are doing the same thing from about 6:00 to 6:10. Thanks!

Noticed in your first demo you nose breathed (Caruso style) and in the second demo you breathed thru the corners. That would make for 2 different exercises I think. Thoughts? Ps. My Embosure just arrived, so yes, I have a vested interest now! Thanks!

The Rusch bags were of much better quality. The Indian company that makes your bags really needs to improve quality. I had a good laugh yesterday followed by a cry. The plastic end literally popped out of the end. Now there is just a hole there that is hard to seal up.
