Christmas Gift for brass bander

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.

 

A pack of 25 neodymium magnets for holding your music on to your stand at park jobs?!

 

(and a Boobs and Brass CD )

 

How about Bedford Town Band's Naked 2010 Calendar.Available from 4barsrest.

 

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!!!

DVDs?

Bach for Brass - German Brass
Gran Fanfaria - Venezuelan Brass Ensemble

Both are top notch, in my view.

 

A new copy of The Arban, as theirs will be worn out with the constant use.

 

What about considering the B.E.R.P.?

 

Ah, trying for the most sarcastic post award? Or funniest.

 

Well, the gift is original!

Mnozil Brass DVD Irmingrad - simply stunning and hilarious from start to finish.

 

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

 

Where can I buy that CD?

 

YOU CAN BUY THE CD FROM www.musichouseproductions.co.uk or www.4barsrest.com

 

Maybe I´ll go for that CD, but I also want to buy him a nice DVD from a contest. Suggestions?

 

Brass in Concert!!
