5.0 out of 5 stars Horn Player's Best Friend
the BERP (Buzzing Extension and Resistance Piece) is an EXCELLENT tool for brass players of every caliber. mine stays with or on my horn constantly, added to the brass mouthpiece it takes buzzing to the next level. I use it in my warm-ups and to work through sections I just can't seem to get.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth looking into
Essentially, there is no reason to buy this. Use your mouthpiece. Really! This is a ridiculous item and a solid waste of money.

This review is from: BERP Buzz Extension and Resistance Piece for French Horn
I'm a professional horn player and teacher. This is a good tool for beginning brass players, certainly a better option than holding the mouthpiece separately and buzzing on it. It doesn't quite provide amazing or fast results, but what can? For my youngest struggling student it seemed tp make things harder, probably because it just works / feels different than playing into the horn. I didn't find it as helpful for myself (professional level) for the same reason, though I know other advanced players who like them, and an intermediate student of mine seems to do really well with it. To be fair, I'm not a big proponent of mouthpiece buzzing anyway, and if you are (eg if you warm up that way every day, or whatever) you'll probably like this quite a bit.

In short, it's worth trying out. Even if you don't love it and use it a lot, it will teach you something new about your playing which is always useful. It's a nice tool to have around.
