Tone Design Pocket Rocket	Small pocket-sized resonating device helps tune your sound in the room to project more and increase liveliness of tone. Don't believe it? I do. The story from the maker is that he designed these to clamp onto the bridge of a double bass, but the bass players found that the device worked just as well when placed in a pocket. I personally use one when I play trombone, and the results can indeed be duplicated. It consists of several sculpted pieces of wood, clamping wood and copper rods. I found this at the New Orleans Trombone Festival a few years ago. It's an amazing item for those players with highly tuned ears and discerning taste in sound production.

DEG Mouthpiece Trueing Tool	Steel tool with plastic coated handle. Fits inside most mouthpiece shanks to push out dents from collisions with the floor. Often works well in tandem with a rawhide mallet to tap out shank dents.	A04TT995	$22
DEG Collar Saver	Small clear plastic tube that mounts around the neckpipe of a trombone, to prevent the greening of your neck if there's little lacquer left on your horn. May also protect a newer neckpipe from lacquer loss, but may need to be removed to wipe off any oils or acids that have snuck under there. There is a slot along the long axis of the Collar Saver to allow it to slip onto your horn. Use caution, or the sharp edge of the cut can scratch the instrument. I recommend wrapping a piece of note paper around the horn first, then sliding the Collar Saver on, then slide the paper out. Can be cut to length.	A08SS2	$3
Yamaha Trombone Hand Strap	Small faux leather strap hooks around the mouthpiece receiver on your trombone slide, then wraps around the lower cork barrel, and ends in a loop through which you feed your hand. This helps take much of the weight off your thumb and forefinger. Does not fit horns with removable leadpipes, like Shires or Kanstul. Best fit on small bore trombones with narrower slides	YAC1535P	$12
Kanstul Trumpet Removable Tuning Slide Brace	Small silver plated brace is adjustable with a threaded knob to adjust and fit snugly into your tuning slide crook or onto the body of the horn between leadpipe and lower tube. Fits horns with no braces, or one brace, like Yamaha Bobby Shew or similar.		$40
Kanstul Tone Intensifier Ring	These silver plated brass rings fit onto the shank of Bach style mouthpieces, and add weight and breadth to your tone. Works especially well with lighter horns. If you play a Kanstul trombone with a light .020" bell and want to darken your sound, this is the ticket. For trumpet, trombone, or bass trombone.		$40
Kanstul Contrabass Trombone Hand Rest	This hand rest is made for the Kanstul contrabass trombone, but may be retrofitted to other instruments. It clamps onto the brace between the bell receiver and the bell, and a stainless adjustable rod connects to a brass hand pad with a foam cushion. This way, much of the weight of the horn rests on the back of your hand, rather than on your thumb or forefinger. To fit this to other horns, you'll want a shim to downsize the clamp diameter to your horn's brace, or solder on a lyre holder to your brace, and slip the stainless tube in there.	khand	$150
Horn Pro Thayer Valve Neck Guard	This small leather guard fits onto any trombone with a Thayer valve, and is thin leather with a velcro closure and a pencil holder. Has smooth fabric on the inside, and a flap to protect your neck and your horn from each other. We recommend taking this off from time to time to wipe off any oils or acids that may accumulate underneath, black		$15

Yamaha Replacement Euphonium Valve Springs	These Teflon coated, copper valve springs fit most all piston euphoniums from most makers, and smaller tubas, including the Yamaha YBB103. We use these as retrofit for Weril and Kanstul euphoniums.	GO141070	$3 each
