Korg Tuner and Metronome
This is a great value – Korg quality and TWO needed resources (metronome and tuner) for all musicians. You should always practice with a metronome to build skill and make certain that you are in perfect time. This metronome is very flexible and can do multiple beats and patterns (see below). The tuner section has an easy to read VU meter that can be viewed at a glance for tuning. Details:  Scale: 12 note equal temperament - Detection Range: C1 to C5 - Reference Tone  - Metronome Section: Tempo Range 40 - 208 BPM - Multiple Time Signatures: beats, duplets, triplets, triplets without center beat, quadruplets, quadruplets without center beats -  2x AAA batteries - This has it all! I used to sell another model that cost $200.00 This does more, sounds better and is even less expensive :) Isn't technological progress great?!

K&M Konig & Meyer 5 Leg Trumpet Stand (Made in Germany)
This is another great product, pardon the pun, that ‘stands out from the rest.’ Very innovative design (with the legs stored inside the stand when closed) and most importantly, it is very stable. With the five legs spread out, it would take a lot of work to tip over your trumpet (other three leg stands are not as stable as this one). The whole stand can fit in the bell for storage! NO EXTRA STORAGE SPACE NEEDED. – Give the five leg trumpet stand, another thumbs up, great design, storage, and safety.

ALLEN VIZZUTTI
Mr. Vizzutti is one of the most amazing trumpet soloists of our time. Equally at home in a multitude of musical idioms, he has traveled the world performing with a rainbow of artists and ensembles, ranging from Chick Corea to the Royal Philharmonic. In addition, for many years he was one of Hollywood's leading studio artists; he can be heard on more than 100 movie soundtracks. His extended playing range and incredible technique require a perfectly balanced mouthpiece. The Vizzutti mouthpiece offers a warm focused sound, accurate and centered intonation, and incredible flexibility. This is a PRO level mouthpiece. I really like this one. It is one of my favorites. Mr. Vizzutti is known for his amazing technical abilities (see his book above). He clearly practices in a methodical fashion with goals and benchmarks that he sets for himself. This is a good idea for anyone!
