- In this week's video I compare these two excellent mouthpiece buzzing products - the B.E.R.P. and the Brass Buzzer. These are the two buzz-aids referenced in James Thompson's "The Buzzing Book" and I have happily owned and used both for a number of years.

Your vacation buzzing posture is quite close to my regular practicing posture
🤣 I get more upright as I get more warmed up...
Nice work. Love these videos.
So glad you’re enjoying them!
Awesome video Jon!
Thanks, Peyton! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I've been using the BERP for years. One finally broke and I replaced it immediately. Unscrewing it is a minor inconvenience, but I've had it for so long, this doesn't bother me. Buzzing has helped a lot - with my intonation, among other things. You're supposed to wash it out? What do you know - I learn something new every day.
I used the BERP for years. Good stuff.
Excellent video! Well prepared and delivered. I'm a middle school Band Director in Florida and have never used a "buzz-aid", but look forward to using them, for both my student's development, and my own. Thanks! :-)
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! Glad you found this interesting - buzz aids can be dead useful! Best of luck on your journey.
You’re very funny and thank you so much for great videos. 🎺🎺
I got a brass buzzer by accident a few years ago, when I bought a bunch of other stuff. The long story short for how much force it would take to detach the 2 pieces of the device: a lot. They're brazed together, which is going to hold remarkably more than normal soldering. I kinda want to find another one that nobody wants, and simply try to break it, just so I can do a Mythbusters-style video.
You're not kidding... I was actually trying really hard to see if it would give at all, and it absolutely didn't. Very solidly built product.
I've had my B.E.R.P. for just over 23 years now--Stephen Jones incorporated it heavily in the lessons I took from him back then. Unfortunately, the receiving end of the screw popped out within a few months and I never replaced it. I wish I could still get the original B.E.R.P. Joan LaRue showed me in SoCal which had resistance holes, but also held the mouthpiece directly in the lead pipe. Of course that added a half inch or so to the reach (and made it difficult to trade it in and out), but it held the mouthpiece more firmly on the horn than I could ever get my plastic B.E.R.P. to do. I think it's just time to get the Brass Buzzer, especially for the benefits of "over training" as you mentioned. Another super helpful video on my Jon Talks Trumpet archive binge!
I love the Brass Buzzer. I personally put electrical tape on the receiver for the mouthpiece so it doesn't scratch the mouthpiece shank
That’s a great tip! Thanks for sharing, I might have to do that myself. 😊
Have you tried the Stomvi UpSound? It’s the favorite buzzing tool I’ve tried!
No, but it looks awesome! Hopefully some day I’ll get a chance to try it.
Brother, is it 650-280-24 parke mouthpiece?
Close! It’s a Parke Orchestral 640-280-24. 🤓
@@JonTalksTrumpet is it same with what size to Bach mouthpiece?.
Check out my video about Parke mouthpiece sizes for a more complete answer, but the simplest (but not very complete) answer is that the inner rim diameter is closest to a Bach 1.5C, the average cup depth is like a Bach 1C, 24 throat, and orchestral style backbore that’s a little smaller than a Bach 24 backbore (stock on Bach A cup mouthpieces).
Thank you bro..
Yes I already watch the video. 650-280-24 is equal to 1 1/4..
Cool. No idea what it sounds like.
Classic berp is better
