|
|
I suggested this to a fellow trumpet player as a joke but, on reflection, using a vibrator on the lips to get the blood flowing makes sense - though it might look more than a bit strange. I'm wondering if anyone has ever actually tried this with any regularity and what, if any, difference it made? |

Gad, another gimmick.
Doesn't fluttering the lips or buzzing get the blood flowing? _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

I was expecting the first post to say "Now that I have your attention..."

There was that product - the links are in posts above - which was supposed to do exactly this.
But, as others have said, flutter your lips, it stimulates blood flow in a very similar manner. I do this post-playing each day (I play), and also before I play each morning (well... the days I play)
By combining this with some breathing exercises while walking the dog, I get it all done well before gentleman's hours arrive and I can start making a noise! And it's free... waste of time and money, let alone resources, to buy something to do what you can already!
cheers
