Stratos Performer

Post by bazman62 »

Hi Guys, anyone on here tried The Stratos Performer by Marcus Reynolds?
I've seen some good reviews, but nothing better than real testimonies.
Cheers,
Baz

I'm a returning player, and instruction where I live is not possible, so trying to start all over after a 45 year break. From watching the videos and comments etc I thought this may help in retraining my positioning etc, as I do not have a teacher to assist.

You have Skype, Zoom, etc.
A lot more valuable than random videos, comments, and devices.
If you want real valid advice that works, have a lesson.

While that device is interesting to a degree, it is meant for very specific situations - I do not have an opinion if it's a good approach in those cases - and certainly not a good choice for general embouchure direction. I wouldn't generally dispose videos/YouTube etc, but you need to find the right stuff which isn't easy. plus as a returning player you often will need esplanatory context.
