Music is the one language that we all share in common. Learning how to appreciate this language comes naturally to some of us and though genres and melodies may differ, the basic notes and instruments used to produce these beautiful tunes are the same. Regardless of whether the instruments used are electronic guitars and pianos, all these require tender loving care and maintenance for them to remain usable.
Accessories
Brass instruments are a family of intricate classical orchestral instruments comprising of instruments such as the french horn; just to name a few. It goes without saying then that these instruments would require additional accessories in order for them to be fully functional.
* The mouthpiece is the most fundamental part of an instrument. As such, musicians often carry spares around with them. Each different instrument has a mouthpiece that is made specifically for it. There is the Bach Trumpet Mouthpiece Group II 11C to name a few.
* Practice mutes are great if you don't want to wake the neighbors up in the middle of the night whilst you play away.
* Besides practice mutes, some instruments are too loud for small chamber performances and you need mutes to play down the tones. The Gator Molded ABS French Horn Case.
* Bags offer less protection if compared to cases, but are sometimes preferred because they're lighter and more convenient. The Gard Deluxe Alto Sax Gig Bags are big enough to add in additional items whilst you're on the go.
* Mouthpiece caps protects the mouthpiece from dents and also from dust and can be left on the instrument whilst its in the case.
* If you have lots of spare mouthpieces lying around, get them organized in a pouch such as the Pro Tec Leather Mouthpiece Pouch.
