Sometimes brass players find it difficult to practice for a variety of reasons. I have a neighbour, a 2 year old and many other factors that affect my trombone practice schedule. In fact, for some time, I have been utilising a number of rooms & studios where I can get uninterupted practice.
However, that could be about to change! After seeing a conversation on twitter yesterday between Roger Argente and Andy Deverux, not to mention a personal recommendation from John Barber, Principal Trombone of the Fodens Band, I had to look up the Bremner trombone sshhmute to see what I was missing.
Everything looks great for the travelling trombonist - the weight is light, strong abs so won't dent, fits in the bell, so should fit most cases and the list goes on and on.
Now I have heard about the legendary cornet playing of Trever Bremner from my old teacher and friend David King, so I'm happy that Bremner would only put his name to a great product, but when you read the list of other professonals that are using Bremner sshhmutes, it really is a no brainer.
The list of endorsements starts, Christian Lindberg, Philip Smith and Alison Balsom, and continues through a list of great brass players.
Suitably convinced, I'll be ordering my Bremner trombone sshhmute and that will ease the difficulty in finding somewhere convenient for my trombone practice. I'll be sure to let you know.
