Hi Folks,
I have a Jo Ral Shortstop and I'm curious about a couple of things.
1. Does anyone use one of these things and what is their opinion of them?
2. What are the two holes used for?
Cheers,
John Worley

It's called a Short Cut, not a Shortstop. I've never seen one and don't know what the holes are used for. Here's what Jo Ral says on its website:
"The Jo-Ral 3510 Trumpet Short Cut is an innovative new helper to the brass player. The Jo-Ral short cut allows you to do warmups, slurs, and tonguing without using your trumpet. It is excellent for extending practice time, improving embouchure, and as a lip builder.
The Short Cut is a piece of copper tubing with 2 holes, a ventura at the top and a bell-shape at the bottom. A mouthpiece can be inserted into the ventura. The “Short Cut” is comparable to the natural instrument. At 5-1/2″ it is small enough to take with you anywhere."
What happens when you cover the holes? Do pitches change?

Actually covering the holes don't do much to the tone or change the resistance. And you're right, it's called a Short Cut.
Anyone else have an opinion or more info to share?
John
