What does one buy a fellow brass band enthusiast for xmas? Apart from the very cliched CD of some top band. Needs to be something original. Thanks.
What about some great Fodens merchandise...!!? We have t shirts, polo shirts, music bags, ties, cds, cornets, drinks bottles (and not just for water!), handy bags that can be for mutes/footie boots/lunch box etc, or the new Fodens calendar...! We're selling as far as Denmark, Italy and New York - oh, and Crewe...! Visit the website or send me a PM if you're interested in any of the clothing/bags/water bottles. If we don't have it in stock we have a great supplier that will get it out to you before Christmas!!! www.fodensband.co.uk
DVDs? Bach for Brass - German Brass Gran Fanfaria - Venezuelan Brass Ensemble Both are top notch, in my view.
www.musicallitee.com have some great t-shirts, hoodies, bags etc with some really good captions and pictures on them
I´m also looking for a christmas gift, for my 16 year old cornet playing brother. And I checked out The Berp, but is it really doing things other then holding the mouthpiece??
It allows anyone to practice buzzing using the same real-time conditions as playing the instrument (posture, weight of instrument, mouthpiece pressure etc.). The advantage of varying the resistance of air passing through it can potentially reap benefits for a player who needs to develop in that area.
What about new CD from John Lee and Boobs and Brass "Whatever It Takes . Its not a top band and all the money goes to a really good cause and the CD is great
