I can't find any videos on You Tube re its usage. The manufacturers want payment for their video. I find it difficult and frustrating to use. The split disc back-pressure dial is very simplistic. If the dial covered a graduated slit, it would be better. Its not easy to cover the separate holes when you can't see them clearly. I can buzz the mouthpiece better without it. When making notes on the instrument the vibration of the lips is aided by the natural response of the tube length. On the BERP you simply buzz the pitch. It doesn't happen for me. I know that different people have different physical abilities, I don't think mine suits this item. I'll keep trying. Perhaps I'll get the hang of it. Personally I think blowing your horn using as little lip pressure as possible is much more useful. The P.E.T.E. (bought at the same time) makes more sense to me.

Just as expected, great item for training, works with mellos. Item arrived on time and in great condition. Information on web site very helpful in picking the correct product.

I found this item on Amazon for the cheapest price out there. It is exactly what the music stores sell but at a better price (including shipping and handling) The berp works perfect for our trumpet and it is holding up pretty good- not flimsy or cheap plastic that breaks very easily. I would recommend purchasing this if you have a beginner that is learning to play a trumpet or any other instrument that you could use a berp for. Its helped our child tremendously his first year of playing. Well worth getting! Side note I recieved this quicker then waiting for the music store to restock- and I didn't have to drive to go get it, it was delivered to my house, which the music store is over an hour away round trip driving for us.

This is an awesome product I am just starting out on trumpet and this is a great item to mouthpiece buzzing and finger along.

Delivery itself was quick. The package comes with exercises both in Bass and Treble Clef. Clamping it on the lead pipe is a breeze. If you can't seem to figure it out there are instructions. The thing that makes it unique is the resistance dial. It is reccomended for beginners to adjust it all the way in. It also helps you warm up quietly. Overall great product a must have if you want to develop your range quickly.

It was recommended by a music teacher. I played trumpet waaaayyyy back in junior high school almost 34 years ago. Buzzing helps you build your embouchure, and you could also practice fingering when attached to your trumpet. By attaching it you feel less silly about making buzzing sounds and not music. It's worth the price, and of course Amazon had it for the lowest price around.
