 Brass Shortcut - trombone (small shank)
  Small brass unit for use with mouthpiece practice. Provides similar
resistance and feel to actual trombone playing, only much quieter and in a
pocket size. A helpful brass practice tool, the Shortcut can provide a
complete warm-up without access to the instrument. Use with all small shank
mouthpieces.
